Proposition 16 is a voluntary rule for NCAA colleges that imposes the following eligibility requirement on student-athletes in Division I:

:at least a 2.0 grade-point average (GPA) in 13 approved academic "core" courses

:an SAT of at least 1010 or a combined ACT of at least 86.

Students having lower test scores must establish higher core course GPAs. For example, a student having a GPA of 2.5 or higher need test scores of only 820 on the SAT or 68 on the ACT.

There is a modified version of these requirements for student-athletes at the 254 Division II NCAA schools.

There is a waiver mechanism.

There have been several unsuccessful legal challenges, based on discrimination, to Proposition 16.
