There’s been a fair amount of confusion over tailback Chauncey Washington’s academic status, which I partially attribute to USC for its sketchy explanations.
So in an effort to clear things up, here’s the deal.
Washington is currently taking 10 units, which is why he was ineligible for spring practice. You must take at least 12 units to be a full-time student.
If Washington gets a 3.0 this spring, he is eligible. If he doesn’t he needs to take a 2-unit summer course to become eligible. Washington says his grades are “great” right now and he doesn’t think he will require summer school.
