So I assume that applies for transfers as well; if they leave in good standing, there's no hit to the APR. But aren't there two components to the APR, grades and retention.

You don't get hurt for transfers if they leave in good academic standing.

Yes and no the second point is waived if the player meets the transfer standard (higher GPA than the eligibility standard) then if another player player is not a 2/2 it affects the overall average more because the total number of possible points is lowered and any points the team misses out on will affect the total score more.

Here's the remedy: go to class.

I know the NCAA bends over for the P5 to the point where they're a joke now because they're scared that any actual punishment would cause a split, but asking for a bailout for this is ridiculous.

Boeheim is doing all that he can to keep him in school.

This doesn't seem fair. If the player has to prepare for the draft, with millions of dollars on the line, you can't really blame him.

But what is a school supposed to do? The NCAA needs to change this rule before it hurts Syracuse and Jimmy B.

This has already hurt Syracuse. In 2010 they were docked two scholarships for exactly the same thing. While I agree there is something wrong with this, why aren't other schools - notably Kentucky - similarly constrained by the rule? They have more players leaving early than Syracuse.

Fab missed the '12 NCAA tourney, which could have very well cost SU a chance at another ring. Why did it happen? It happened because we're a school, not a minor league pro team. Professor aren't afraid to fail star players at key times. That isn't true everywhere. Also, some of our classes are easier than others, but they're all real. That also isn't true everywhere.
