2.6 GPA for a public school? I can’t wait for the next person who mentions academic restrictions.
Must have a ok SAT score then (I know 1000/1600 used to be more than enough... I don't know how low BC will accept but I do know that the NCAA minimum is 780/1600 for 2.6). BC would accept the argument a recruit didn't apply themselves in the past but is capable/willing to do the work in the future. Better players get more leeway. But, At the end of the day, admission comes down basically two questions 1) "is this kid going to graduate?" because APR! and 2) is their anything questionable about their character. BC does not want any kids where there is a chance they could be bring shame to the university by getting arrested. This was the way things were done in the 90s under Mahoney and I could almost bet money it's the same way today. Not sure if he is still running admissions or not.
With the exception of Stanford, who I think has higher admission standards than everyone else for FB, the above is right. BC can let in any kid who meets NCAA minimum standards. It comes down to being able to handle the work load at schools like BC, ND, Duke, Northwestern, etc and stay eligible. This is where larger state schools have a major advantage over academic slanted schools. Because of the size, they can hide kids in programs to keep them eligible.
You can probably look at most rosters and get an idea as to which academic programs fit in that mold (as an example, one program you see often at Clemson for FB players is Parks, Tourism and Recreation Management, my guess is there’s a reason for that). The BC equivalent is probably the communications major if I had to guess ?
