Unfortunately these changes are scheduled to coincide with changes in NCAA Minimum qualification standards that will no longer require a SAT/ACT qualification score to earn a scholarship. The result will be a huge increase in qualifying students who can be admitted to the Big Ten, Big 12 and other major conferences that now limit the admission of partial qualifiers and are tired of getting beat by the Fresno St, Northern Illinois, Troy St, Marshall's of the world who have focused on these partial qualiers to compete. I think SMU should support measures that raise NCAA Minimum qualification standards for all schools but the fact is those standards are being watered down not strengthened. The emphasis will change but will SMU be on an even playing field?
