OK, so I apparently recruited some kids off the short bus this season, because - for the first time - I have some ineligibles after the first final grades came out. Two freshman - one who is being red-shirted - have posted 1.9 GPAs. So some questions - 

Is there anything special I have to do in order to get them eligible in time for the conference tournament? With respect to study hall minutes, can someone please direct me to the forum post that has the tables and what-not?

Will either (or both) of them continue to improve ratings and IQ? Are they still eligible at D3 to practice and work with the team, just not to play?

lots of minutes in SH... and pray

I believe, at D3, they still practice and improve but a little more slowly.

I don't know anything about a table but, with 1.9 GPA, I'd increase their SH by 10-12 minutes over it's current setting. 

I thought there was a table detailing minimums that it took to get guys eligible again, but I could be mistaken about that.

And I sure hope you are right about them continuing to improve (albeit slowly) because a half-season of non-development at the D3 level can have a very big impact on how valuable a guy ends up being.

They do continue to improve, but at a slower rate. I think something changed since the last update, because I have 3 players become ineligible even with double digit study hall. 

Hmm, and here I thought I just had recruited the stupid kids for a change.

Tianyi (or anyone else), do you have any idea what I'm talking about with respect to tables/guidelines on how much SH they need to get/stay eligible moving forward?

Is this what your looking for zbrent:

The last thing we'll cover before moving on is Study Hall minutes. During the course of the season, you will receive 2 mid-term reports and 2 final grade E-mails regarding your players. The mid-term reports are simply giving you updates on how your players are performing in the classroom, giving you a chance to adjust minutes if need be. However, if any of your players fall below a 2.0 for his final grade, he will be declared academically ineligible. If this is the first semester, he will have the chance to come back just before the Conference Tournament begins, assuming he gets his grades up. If a player falls below 2.0 during the 2nd semester, he is done for the year. To avoid this, I've used this formula that I stole from Oldresorter. By allocating my Study Hall minutes this way, I've never had a player declared ineligible in 60 seasons of HD:

• Freshman: 4.0 - HS GPA x 10
• Sophomore: 3.6 - GPA x 10
• Junior: 3.2 - GPA x 10
• Senior: 2.8 - GPA x 10
 

It's from the Player Guide.

Thanks salag. I think that may be it.
