it really does not look all that critical
( 959 + 909 + 910 ) / 3 = 926 so they only need 12 points over 930 to get to a 930 average so that would be a 942
that will get it done for one year
( 909 + 910 + 942 ) / 3 would equal 920.333
so they would need 957 to equal 929.5 (it gets rounded up according to this)
http://espn.go.com/college-football/sto ... m-standardand while 957 will be harder to do teams can also get a point per player they invite back that graduates that has left in the past without a degree
and I would imagine there is still plenty of weed in Fort Worth to get several players back
I would imagine TCU is contacting some former players as we speak that had decent grades and left without a degree and were only a few hours short and they are asking them back left and right or they are setting up online classes for them and they will score 5-6 points that way alone
the reality is as well that anything they score over a 942 this year makes that goal for the year after even less daunting and I would imagine they will pull a 960+ this year and they will be in good shape for the next year as well then
the years with the 909 and 910 were pretty extreme circumstances surrounded by some pretty decent results
