Well, considering that Deion Smith was ruled ineligible for us this year for that very reason, I would say that yes they do.

UGA players certainly don't. They have an embarrassingly bad graduation rate.

Sad.

Well, based on graduation rates, less than half of Georgia players go to class.

UT’s Football team graduated 13 guys before the season started and the team has a 3.17 GPA per the most current data.

I do believe most take the minimum credit hours in summer and fall but do have academic progress and benchmarks they are expected to meet.

damn, UGA lowest rate in the country. Lower than Auburn, who once gave a degree to a dude that couldn’t read!

For this to work either UGA is the only program utilizing NIL or most schools using NIL players need to see this as a norm. Neither is the case.

No. Online and tutor does the work in basket weaving 101. Shite is a straight joke. Wake up at 11am. Lunch at 12 of steak, lobster, king crab, shrimp, fish. 2 pm workout in state of art weight room. 3 pm muscles rub down in state of art recovery room. 4 pm film/meeting. 5 pm non contact/non pad practice. 7 pm dinner of steak, lobster, snow crab, shrimp and fish. 8 pm shower. 1 am coming in from local watering hole at 120 mph down main street in Charger. Repeat next day. Tiring according to Kelly.

Read the top of the damn chart.

It plainly says, 8 years (right-hand corner) and gives the years.
