Exactly. Anyone who wants to know why Disney trolls the B1G, the initial (non-B1G) story being ignored is a pretty clear explanation.

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/07/dan_mullens_radical_idea_to_ch.html
Dan Mullen of Miss State has a pretty slick idea that offers another side of the spectrum to Delany's proposal. It's non-troll-y and pretty unique
Rather than eliminating the freshman year of eligibility, include a GPA bonus for those players who qualify.
"His idea is to counteract the NCAA's requirement, set to go into effect August 2016, which requires prospective student-athletes to have a minimum GPA of 2.3. If the recruits can't hit that 2.3 GPA figure but are above the old 2.0 scale, they'd be forced to take an academic redshirt year. The NCAA also raised its sliding scale based on GPA and SAT/ACT scores, and now requires recruits to have completed 10 of their 16 core classes before their senior year.
Mullen imagines a hypothetical scenario in which multiple players have to take an academic redshirt year, and how that'd force other guys into playing time before they might be ready. That's the impetus behind his push to give those players an extra year of eligibility.
If Mullen's idea were passed, it could dramatically change the way programs recruit. Schools would still recruit talented players with shaky transcripts, but the benefits of signing a stronger student would be big when another year of eligibility is on the table. It would even the scales a bit for programs with tough admissions standards."
TLDR: Allow programs to take a chance on risky kids instead of forcing them to Juco's and let them take an academic red shirt year to see how the progress. Those students who are admitted with the GPA above the 2.3 requirement have five years of eligibility.
