Don't the players take summer course work to reduce their academic load especially during the second semester when traveling, practice and games are at their peak. I know Howard is a good student. Just asking.

Very thoughtful and mature reply by Markus.   What a great rep for our program.

I would expect he'll take at least 3 credits in session 2 (starts early July).

17.1.7.2.1.5.1 Basketball. In basketball, a student-athlete who is enrolled in summer school
may engage in required weight-training, conditioning and skill-related instruction for up to eight
weeks (not required to be consecutive weeks). A student-athlete who is enrolled in at least three
degree-applicable (pursuant to Bylaw 14.4.3.1.7) credit hours in one summer term that is fewer
than eight weeks in duration may engage in required weight-training, conditioning and skill-related
instruction for up to eight weeks (not required to be consecutive weeks).
Participation in such
activities shall be limited to a maximum of eight hours per week with not more than two hours
per week spent on skill-related instruction. (Adopted: 1/14/12, Revised: 1/19/13, 10/30/13, 4/28/16)
