What happened to the concept of a Non-Qualifier?

[Sparlimb]

Anyone remember, back in the day, we'd recruit these kids, we'd sweat out signing day to find out if they could get a C- and qualify? We lost lots of kids to not qualifying, had lots of discussions about whether we had harder or easier entrance requirements then Wisconsin. Saw kids that we thought we wanted, go juco. Like this whole discussion stopped many years ago and I'm not sure if its because a rule changed and we can take anyone now, or if because our recruiting stopped sucking so bad that we had to scrape the bottom of the barrels to get kids. Anyone know?

It still happens. Recruiting news at other schools mentions these stations now and then.

I think PJ just doesn't take many chances on those guys that don't pan out like other schools do / we used to.

I'm sure PJ takes some chances, but I think guys not doing the basic school work is very much not his thing and considering his rules about going to class / being in the front row ... I think some guys get the message, maybe filter themselves out too.

Really? I haven’t seen much about this or academic Ineligibility from other schools. I don’t know if we can give credit to PJ for this.

I think with our APR and other publicly available academic metrics associated with the guys in our program, we can 100% attribute this to Fleck's recruiting and non-football expectations

Yes really.
