It doesn't have to happen immediately, but it needs to happen. We have statistics, and we've done extremely well. I hope that will continue. To safeguard that, the University has put together an academic support team to help student-athletes. We have a mandatory study hall for freshmen.
Tutors are available for any student-athlete.
Some people say that's coddling the student-athletes. But many of our teams miss classes due to contests on the road. It's important that we support them and their academic challenges. It may happen in time, but we need to take this process one step at a time. In basketball, we'll be playing Syracuse in December.
