Anyone know the specifics of qualifying when you are home schooled?
Jokey, nontraditional courses are fine to satisfy NCAA requirements, subject to rather simple conditions. The key is test scores on a standardized test(s) and where that places you on the initial eligibility sliding scale.
Dad or internet gives him a 3.0 & he tests OK, no problemo
