Just 7?  Wow...

[mattegunz]

80 players from 8 teams with a 3.0.  Thats pretty sad in my opinion.

Especially when you look at some of these majors!   ;D  How in the world don't you have a 3.0 in majors like Sports Science or Recreational Sciences or whatever these majors are which are basically majoring in PE...

I'm not very concerned.  As long as they make the grades to play, heh.

That's correct.  Get your degree.

I never went to college while participating on a football team.  I would imagine a 3.0 with that requirement on the side would be about a 3.5+ for some of us geniuses that just had to go to class, drink beer and chase skirts.  These guys have to train, travel and play football.  Hence, I shall not cast the stone.  Glad to see some excel - would love to see all excel.

the major may be easy but they still have to take required courses

and carry a full "workload of football" so let's not sneer too hard!
