Georgia’s Stetson Bennett IV is finishing his SIXTH season with Georgia. He still hasn’t graduated. How do you do that?
Georgia requires 120 credit hours for most bachelor’s degrees. In his 6 years at Georgia Bennett has probably been enrolled for 9 semesters plus 5 summer terms—14 total academic terms. If Bennett finally graduates at the end of the current term, that means he would have averaged only 8-1/2 credit hours for each of the terms he’s been enrolled at Georgia. That’s about half the course load for a normal student.
Such slow progress would put Bennett in violation of the NCAA academic progress rules. I wonder how many other Georgia players are in violation?
