[Husker] More focus on football?

[Andy Knipp]

No clue, but I would be shocked if this is permissible by the current
by-laws. 

Mike is the Husker List by-law expert and he may respond.

Andy, I'm not familiar with this.  I'm know that the NCAA requires that
athletes be full-time students in good standing, but if a school goes to a
trimester type system where students have the option of going any 2 of the 3
trimesters to be considered full-time students, do NCAA regulations require
that the student be in class during the time they are participating in
sports or something like that?
