Midlife Crisis - Episode 7 - Welcome Allon Wright

Here on "Midlife Crisis Podcast" we've had on some legendary coaches, writers and personalities. Today's episode we take a turn towards the player. A very specific player that was a victim of Proposition 48. Proposition 48 is an NCAA regulation that stipulates minimum high school grades and standardized test scores that student-athletes must meet in order to participate in college athletic competition.The NCAA enacted Proposition 48 in 1986.[1]As of 2010, the regulation is as follows:Before a high school student can be eligible to play Division I sports, he or she must meet academic requirements in high school.[2] Those standards include :The successful completion of 16 core courses.[3]A sliding-scale combination of grades in high school core courses and standardized-test scores. For example, if a student-athlete earns a 3.0 grade-point average in core courses, that individual must score at least 620 on the SAT or a sum score of 52 on the ACT. As the GPA increases, the required test score decreases, and vice versa. Allon Wright was a ODU commit. A 210 pound forward with height and range and his basketball career was cut short because of this new ruling by the NCAA. He's an Elizabeth NJ Basketball legend and shares his story today.
