Chance for the newcomers to break in say with an English course or a psych or similar basic course or two courses.

P.S. this may sound like an 'academic exercise' (pun intended) on my part, but what starting school does is makes the recruit an EMU student-athlete. School and player are bound. Players can be added to rosters, etc. Players can do strength and conditioning, etc.

There is a tweet from CC that the newcomers arrive June 28

That seems strange to me.

One would think that they would enroll for the 2nd half of summer semester (7.5 week classes) and begin their academic careers early.

Or maybe what they do is have athletes take two course at the end of each academic year to get them on pace to graduate in four years (I believe undergrad athletes take 12 hours per semester and would be one course per semester short of pace to graduate in 4 years).

Or in the case of football, redhsirted players can finish up their degrees during fall semester of their fifth year. Gives them the chance to earn 12 hours while completing their athletic eligibility.
