The NCAA's academic mandates for athletic eligibility: Proposition 48 and its impact on student-athletes restricted by the legislation

In 1983 during its annual convention, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) voted on and approved a proposal aimed at toughening the academic eligibility requirements for incoming student-athletes aspiring to participate in Division I athletic programs. Formally known as Bylaw 5-1-$\{$j$\}$ (presently known as Bylaw 14.3), Proposition 48 mandates successful completion of a high school core curriculum along with attaining a minimum score on a national standardized test. Without successfully attaining these more stringent academic requirements, a prospective Division I freshman student-athlete is, along with other restrictions, barred for one year from practicing and participating in the institution's intercollegiate athletics program.
