They dont, but I said full time student and by that definition you have to take at least 12 hours a semester, or at least I had to, to be considered full time. I know people that took 15-18 hours a semester plus worked 40 hours a week. Yeah, working a full time job is easier on the body, but in no way is it easy to do. Im not trying to say playing football and going to school is easy to do, all I am saying is there are people out there who go to school full time and work full time and are still able to pass their classes. If they can do that, then a football player who is taking 9 hours should be able to pass their classes. Football players and athletes have it tougher in some areas, but they also get alot of help and have it alot easier in other areas that the normal student doesnt. By rule, all student-athletes must be enrolled full-time in order to be eligible for practice and competition. At every institution on a two-semester system, that means they must carry 12 hours at mimimum at all times during the academic year. There are only two exceptions to this rule.
