A the most or reaching new academic requirements l almost 10 years will go before a vote of Mcaa schools this week. Opponents Are racing for what is Likely to be a futile get. A i told the presidents commission to expect even More heated debate at the 992 convention than what they experienced in 1990 or �?~91,�?� Mcaa executive director Dick Schultz said. A i think Dicks right a said Judy Sweet to is completing her first year As the in aah a first female president. A there is o doubt going to be More vigorous Dis us Sion than we be experienced in the ast year or  no one is predicting the chief sponsor f the toughened academic requirements be Reform minded Mcaa presidents commission will not get what it wants during the no aah a 86th annual convention which starts monday in Anaheim. There was also widespread opposition among coaches and athletic directors to a series of measures at last years convention which Cut Back playing seasons coaching staffs and practice times. But with each schools vote controlled by its president or Chancellor the measures All passed overwhelmingly. A i would anticipate the academic package will pass a Schultz said. Opposition to the measures is based chiefly on the use of standardized College aptitude tests which Are thought to be culturally and racially biased. A i am very much in favor of having academic standards a Georgetown athletic director Frank Dienso said. A but i am not in favor of inappropriate academic  under the presidents plan Mcaa athletes would face toughened academic requirements from the Day they enrol to the Day they finish their College eligibility. Under the present freshman eligibility Rule known As proposition 48, freshman to be eligible their first year must have a 2.00 a or c average a in 11 High school a a cores or College predatory courses. They must also make a minimum score on the act or sat College Entrance exams. The new Rule would raise the number of Core courses to 13 and hike the minimum Grade Point in the Core from 2.00 to 2.5. There would also be a sliding Index where a higher Grade Point in the Core offsets a lower test score. In addition the presidents commission is seeking to toughen the continuing eligibility requirements forcing an athlete to Complete a progressive percentage of courses in a specific degree program. In their third fourth and fifth years athletes would need to have completed 25, 50 and 75 percent of the requirements for graduation. Proposition 48 has been controversial since it was first adopted in 1983 and has undergone several modifications. Two years ago Mcaa schools voted to deny All athletic scholarships to freshmen who do not meet the minimum requirements. A there has been a great Deal of disagreement among individuals As to How they feel academic standards should be strengthened Quot Sweet said. A but there probably is not a great Deal of opposition to the concept of strengthening academic  although they re probably going to draw the most attention the academic proposals Are Only a Small part of More than 140 items on the Agenda
