As some of you may remember when the info came out a few years ago. There's essentially a return of partial qualifier to D1 sports.
NCAA uses the term "Academic Redshirt".
Here's an excerpt:
Academic Redshirt: A college-bound student-athlete may receive athletics aid (scholarship) in the first year of enrollment and may practice in the first regular academic term (semester or quarter) but may NOT compete in the first year of enrollment. After the first term is complete, the college-bound student-athlete must be academically successful at his/her college or university to continue to practice for the rest of the year.
Basically a kid still completes the 16 core courses at anytime in HS then gets a 2.0 gpa and scores a 22 on his ACT or 1020 on SAT and he is eligible for Academic Redshirt.
