The school does have a little bit of say in forcing the players to attend class, but I don't believe academic records for major sports are any kind of real consideration.

I know for a fact their were players that just couldn't get into FAU. Outside of Rice the rest of the CUSA schools are probably close to having the same academic profile, but we have had some kids not get into FAU and go somewhere else due to academics. We all have different constraints and who we can target, with Rice having the smallest target to recruit. Having said this #saynotoTroy
