Now I see why the White House is upset about the dwags not showing up. They missed an opportunity to have Joe standing next to Bennett and finally appear smart.

Stetson could stand next to Herschel , thats a brilliant duo.
 
Probably changed majors at some point from Basket Weaving 101 to Basket Sculpting 101......So technically there could have been prolonged progress towards a degree. With such daunting curriculums both of those presumably applied, I'm sure he did the best he could.
 
Yes, we're probably looking at the effect of changing colleges twice. Still, his advisors certainly could have cobbled together some kind of program for him to graduate from in 6 years' time. Silly me, but I thought all athletes had to make specific progress toward a degree to maintain eligibility.

Here's the NCAA requirement for course credits earned:

Staying on Track to Graduate
Because we believe success in the classroom is just as important as winning on the field, we have standards to ensure student-athletes make progress toward a degree – every year and every season. They need to meet these standards to be eligible to play. Our members have set separate standards that reflect the philosophies and goals of each division.

Division I
  • 40 percent of required coursework for a degree must be complete by the end of the second year, 60 percent by the end of the third year and 80 percent by the end of their fourth year.
  • Student-athletes are allowed five years of eligibility and athletically related financial aid.
  • All Division I student-athletes must earn at least six credit hours each term to be eligible for the following term and must meet minimum grade-point average requirements related to the school’s GPA standards for graduation.

If he started out at UGA in the fall of 2017, then according to this requirement, Bennett must have had 80% of his degree credits earned by the fall of 2021 to be eligible to play. Thus, he should have had 100% of his credits earned by the fall of 2022 (using the 20% per year from the bolded above). He should have graduated prior to last season. Did he? That's a yes/no question.

Did the NCAA give a total grace period for the covid year, not counting it at all toward eligibility or course requirements (as if that year never existed)? This is the only solution I can think of.
Did S-A's have to make any degree progress at all during the 2020 academic year - even if they played?

Even if you consider the Covid year a valid excuse, he should still have fulfilled the NCAA regulations for progress. Not being able to graduate says that he did not and should have been ineligible. It's time for the wus NCAA to enforce their regulations on EVERYBODY and quit giving a pass to the football factories.

First two years may not have applied since he wasn’t on scholarship?

I don't see where it says you have to ever reach 100%. You're just assuming the last 20% has to be earned.

Could have been on track to graduate but instead stopped attending classes after he was drafted.
