New NCAA eligibility rule
alters football recruiting
Associated Press
FORT WORTH — Judging by
the statistics, it would be difficult to
find three more promising football
recruits than Ron Spence, Michael
Miller and Sean Fisher.
Each earned a generous supply of
postseason awards and appeared on
the all-state ballot. None missed a
down because of the no-pass, no
play rule.
Yet all three are limited in their
choice of a college because of Propo
sition 48, the National Collegiate
Athletic Association’s new eligibility
standard. And they’re not alone.
College coaches say the new eligi
bility standard — which mandates a
2.0 grade average in core curric
ulum courses and a predetermined
minimum on college board tests — is
altering recruiting practices and
leaving many borderline students
behind.

touchdowns last season. He aver

The rule goes into effect in Au

core-course requirement and have
scored at least 700 on a Scholastic
Achievement Test (SAT) or 15 on an
American College Test (ACT).

Lacewell suggested he mighthavt
been a non-recruit under Proposi
tion 48 because of low math grade
during high school. In spite of b
poor math background, Lacewtii
said, he played football and earned/
bachelor’s degree from Arkana

So far, Spence has visited one

Miller, quarterback at Fort Worth
Trimble Tech, earned offensive
player of the year honors in the Fort
Worth area, but is in a similar pre
dicament. His overall grade average
is 2.0, but less than that in core
courses. Despite last season’s 2,139
yards total offense and 29 touch
downs, Miller’s primary suitors have
been North Texas State, Texas A&I
and area junior colleges.

said. “If there’s an exceptional ath

schools take a chance, even if he has
to miss a year to bring up his grades.
“But overall, I think we’ll see
more players weeded out because of
grades.”
Had Proposition 48 been in place
four years ago, Teaff said he never

Lacewell agreed.
