This variance is huge though, to go from 2.3 to 1.5, for a So.*
I don't see what the sophomore has to do with it. The cumulative GPA won't change as much, but a senior can experience the same swings as a freshman in any given semester (unless I missed a big difference from RL).

Also, do we know whether GPAs are actually calculated to only one decimal spot? Or could that 2.3 actually be a 2.25?


You haven't noticed that you need less SH as players get older?  I think that's what the sophomore part has to do with it.  I've never put SH minutes into a SR and rarely into a jr...even the ones that get horrible grades as freshmen.
I haven't noticed that, but I also don't track it. I treat all players the same way (regardless of year) and I don't really notice GPA other than "yellow line" or "not yellow line". The guy I linked above (Ford) stayed eligible as a freshman, but it was during his sophomore year that he lost time due to grades.

It's definitely easier to lose underclassmen to grades than upperclassmen. Especially freshman.

I think the evidence shows that 2.3 is in fact in danger of failing...
