This doesn't sound quite right. It may generally be moot due to timing, however I'm fairly certain high-academic schools can have higher criteria for admissions than the NCAA has for eligibility.The eligibility of a player to accept financial aid to a NCAA institution is done through their clearing house. The player must submit an application and than is told what level NCAA institution they qualify for. The institution itself cannot have a higher admissions policy and decline enrollment once the clearinghouse rules on the application.
