I considered it a safety school when I applied in the 80s, but UGA's middle 50% ACT score is 28-32 and the middle 50% of the Honors students is 32-34. That's easily on par with many high academic LACs.

| Hey, when i got into UGA in 1974 all you had to know how to spell was " keg". I know I am showing my age here. When my kids ask me how I did in school, I tell them that i graduated in that part of the class that made the top part possible. Everyone has to play there part. |

Thanks. It kind of sounded like a double edged sword if they could.

They cannot take the funds away if he did not make the team. They can take funds away if he does not maintain his grade average or he has some other Honor Code violation.

Funny you say that. Coach Stricklin was giving my son a tour on a recent visit and he mentioned that UGA is actually being referred to as the "Ivy of the South" because of the difficulty of getting in these days.

Depends on what money you are talking about.
Academic money, the above applies.
Athletic money, you get for the first year, pretty much regardless of whether you make the team or what your grades are. There may be some behavioral issues that can get it taken away, but it has to be pretty severe for that to happen. Now, whether or not you get that money the next year is entirely up to the coach's discretion. Unless you are in one of the few schools that offer a 4 year deal. |

But in the power 5 conferences (as of this past January), they cannot reduce it (athletic money) or take it away for performance, so they are all multi year now in those conferences.
Obviously there are other ways to make life miserable for a player they want to rid themselves of and get them to leave, but barring that or behavior or grades, an athletic scholarship in the power 5 is now for the 4 (or 5) years.
Here is one of many stories about the change and vote.

I mentioned that in my post in_the_know.
Keep in mind, this only applies to the 65 D1 schools in the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 & Pac-12. There are around 233 other D1 schools that this does not apply to. As well as all D2 schools, NAIA and JUCO.
I'm not clear whether these 65 schools HAVE to offer 4 year deals or if this just gives them the OPTION to offer 4 year deals. I've read a little on both sides. I'd check before you assume. |

Athletic money disguised as Academic money
