In order to remain consistent with the UNC ruling, the NCAA should abolish the academic arm of their clearinghouse. If the college or university admits a student then that is an academic decision and they should keep their nose out of it. If the NCAA doesn't care what they do academically once they are admitted, why worry about what they did before they enrolled.

Well let's play this card one more hand. If the university admits a non-student athlete with a high school GPA of 2.0 (or whatever the level of admission is plus whatever the credits needed are) then according to this ruling they are discriminating against student-athletes unless they are being treated exactly the same academically. Student athletes shouldn't be required to out-perform average students. The coin should flip both ways. Play anyone taking classes and threaten to sue the heck out of the NCAA if they try to tell you someone is academically ineligible. That's basically what UNC did and the NCAA not only folded but opened the door for more cheating.
