Academic Matters

The most important thing about basketball is that O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson passed the minimum six units in the spring semester to avoid losing scholarships under the APR guidelines.
But the program did not win any other awards this semester academically with a 2.08 overall GPA, which is quite a drop from the last spring's 2.52 GPA, which even included three players who dropped out of school. Even last fall, the team GPA was 2.37. But that's one of the repercussions of Kyle Austin, who was a pretty good student, transferring to UC Riverside.
