Many prospective NCAA student athletes are extremely under prepared as they enter a community college and need extensive remediation

Some colleges have as many as 38 units of basic skills/ remedial classes needed before college level if a student places at the lowest level of math, English, and reading.

77% of all community college students come in needing some form of remediation or basic skills preparation

Example 1: 2008-2009 Academic Year

10 sports194 student athletes167 students assessed at MSJC using the

ACCUPLACER ASSESSMENTOut of the 167 that assessed, 166 placed

into basic skills classes (Math, English and/or Reading)

99.4% of student athletes at MSJC assess into basic skills/ remedial classes

NCAA Year of Academic Readiness Increase retention rates of 2 year college

student athletes Increase semester to semester persistence

rates of 2 year college student athletes Increase graduation rates for 2 year college

transfer student athletes Student athletes are properly learning basic

skills they were lacking prior to college enrollment

Student athletes are able to stick with their intended major of choice

Creating a culture of future college educated adult student athlete advocates

a.) Participation: when a student athlete sets foot on the playing surface, score is being kept officially, there are officials/ refs during competition, and game counts toward their official record/ post season play. This burns one season of play even if it was one play or 10 seconds. Scrimmages do not count!

b.) Redshirt: refers to someone who is enrolling full-time at a school but does not play a whole academic year for the purpose of saving a season. A redshirt does not play in any college game or in any given sport or an entire academic year, even though a student is eligible.

c.) Greyshirt: refers to someone who is enrolling part-time at a school and does not play the first semester for the purpose of saving a season and do not trigger the Division eligibility clock. Student athlete can be enrolled full time in the second semester depending on your season of competition and still be considered a greyshirt.

EX: Football (FA sport) can be enrolled full-time their second semester (SP) and have saved a season. Softball (SP sport) cannot be full time and still considered a greyshirt their second semester because that is their season of competition. Basketball (FA and SP sport) must stay part-time both semesters to be considered a grey-shirt because their season of competition falls in both semesters.

d.) Medical Redshirt: refers to a student athlete who sustained an injury during competition before a specific time period during the season and is out for the rest of the season. The trainer and doctor must fill out the appropriate paperwork.
