Before we engage in any more administration-bashing, don't you think it would be useful to see what the NCAA transfer regulations really say? You can see them here (this is the transfer guide referred to in the article)

http://www.ncaa.org/library/general/transfer_guide/2003-04/2003-04_transfer_guide.pdf

but I'll happy to summarize. For a student who was a qualifier coming out of high school, the requirements to transfer from a two-year school and be immediately eligible are:

1. Be enrolled for one semester or quarter.
2. Complete 12 hours of transferable credit hours for each semester of quarter enrolled in two-year school.
3. Have a GPA of 2.0.

For a partial qualifier or non-qualifier:

1. Graduate from the two-year college.
2. Complete 48 hours of transferable credit hours.
3. Be enrolled in the two-year college for at least three semesters.
4. Have a GPA of 2.0.

The latter are the requirements cited in the article; apparently this young lady was a partial or non qualifier.

The Division I requirements to be a qualifier are based on a sliding scale of SAT and high school core course GPA, but they aren't difficult to meet, for example, a student with a SAT of 900 only needs a high school GPA of 2.30 in his or her core courses to be a qualifier, with a 1010 the student needs only a 2.0.

Division II makes no distinction between qualifiers, partial qualifiers, and non qualifiers when it comes to two-year college transfers:

1. Be enrolled for two semesters.
2. Complete an average of 12 hours of transferable credit hours per semester of enrollment.
3. Have a GPA of 2.0.

We don't know what this young lady's high school grades and SAT were, but assuming the article is correct, we do know that EITHER she didn't get an 900 on her SATs (and remember, you can take them multiple times and add the best individual verbal and math scores) OR she didn't have a 2.30 high school GPA in her core courses. Come on, that's a C+!

You're right, admitting a student with high school credentials like that would have been groundbreaking!

The D-1 rules describe Charde's academic performance, i.e., non-qualifying. Let's move on!
