How low will the NCAA and their coaches stoop?
Yep, we care about academics. 
The NCAA will reconsider a rule, passed quietly in April and then criticized by football coaches, allowing players to transfer without penalty for graduate school. Since the rule was enacted, quarterback Richard Kovalcheck, who graduated from Arizona with athletic eligibility remaining, transferred to Vanderbilt. He will be eligible this season. It was deemed to be an athlete welfare issue, meaning players should be able to choose a graduate school without the NCAA standing in the way.

I love how it was passed 'quietly' in the first place, and now its going to be repealed 'quietly.'

why is a rule that allows a player to attend another school for academic purposes awful? |

The rerveral is bull[censored]. Why shouldn't a kid who's done everything right be able to use up his remaining eligibility at his grad school institution.
Just another example of the NCAA's keep 'em on the plantation mentality towards student athletes.

I'm confused (not surprisingly, I know)...some people seem [censored]ed at the rule, some seem [censored]ed at the reconsideration of the rule...WTF?
