One, how in the world, with all the support they are given, are some athletes not even able to complete SIX credit hours in a semester??? That's two classes....two.

When I was a student-athlete, you had to take and pass a minimum of twelve hours each sememter in order to maintain your academic eligibility.

although, I would think that you would be put on probation with the University (maybe that doesn't apply to athletes).

It's based on cumulative GPA and....

the percentage of course work completed toward a degree.

No...that's not what he said.....

You have to take a minimum of twelve hours to be categorized as a full-time student but you apparently only have to pass six of the twelve in order to maintain your eligibility.
