BobK,
I thought that I saw a few grad transfers identified with the term "Post Bac."   Typically, this is a non-degree option, as these athletes already have a BA or BS.   Yes, it is a challenge for any highly qualified individual to get into many/most of our graduate programs, especially the pre-professional schools (MBA, LAW, MD).   I think Shaw and the AD reached a compromise with the Post Bac program.  My thoughts are that it's a good step to getting athletes from the portal.  If they do well in an academic area of interest, they can apply for a masters program in their field for an additional year.   Does anyone know what Blakes was working on academically as he had his undergrad degree from Duke.

I believe he was going for a masters in statistics.
