That piece is more about how home schooled kids should have access to traditional school's sports programs, rather than the ncaa ruling. Really not much there.
The article doesn't say anything about the rule except what you have quoted. It was basically a shot at the ncaa, then the rest was all about the home schooling thing - which is fine.What???
"This is how you do what's best for the student-athlete.
If you're interested in that kind of thing"
Truth!
