So admission requirements, though eased for recruits from former years, still apply. Essentially they have to show they can take a course of study to get them through and schools set their standards so long as applicants meet the NCAA minimum standards. With a new sports major for graduate students it's definitely a lot better. And there have always been some profs who give some kids a break. I remember about 65 years ago a professor giving a loud wink to our starting tailback who never seemed to EVER attend that class. It happens. But I do think they still have to pass UCLA Admissions to be admitted
