Additionally, the presidents adopted new standards for two-year transfer student-athletes. Data show that transfers from two-year colleges often struggle academically after arriving at a four-year institution.
The Board approved an increase in the transferrable grade-point average from 2.0 to 2.5 and limited the number of physical education activity courses to two. Also, two-year college transfers who didn’t qualify academically out of high school will be required to complete a core curriculum that includes English, math and science courses.
*********************************
This benefits CU in several ways.
First, the pool from which our competition recruits will become less deep. We won't be at such a disadvantage.
Second, it is likely that JUCO athletes will adjust their coursework to be more in line with the new standards.
Good day for the Buffs.
