ACC Tightens Requirements for Athletes in Aid
The Atlantic Coast Conference moved to raise academic standards for basketball and football players receiving grants. Starting June 1961, athletes must score at least 730 on verbal and math sections of the SAT to remain eligible for aid. The plan passed unanimously at the spring meeting with praise from M. M. Caplin of Virginia. Frank Howard of Clemson offered cautious remarks on potential losses. The conference also approved 1960-61 championship meets and host schools and authorized a joint TV and bowl receipts study led by Howard.
