There's much to debate about this dfference between DI and DII rules. On the one hand, if a student who was a nonqualifier out of high school has proved himself by earning a respectable GPA in juco, it seems irrelevant whether he actually earned the associate's degree.

On the other hand, it's hard to explain why DII schools should be allowed lesser transfer requirements than DI. One might think that the bigger, higher-status DI schools had instituted this rule to limit the ability of lesser-status DI schools to mine the juco ranks.

At any rate, here's to continued success and a four-year degree to Horton. Best of luck.

Wrong, Horton wasn't a nonqualifier. He went to Auburn, remember? As he transferred from school to school, he just didn't get his associate's, which is required to play D-I if you attend JC after becoming ineligible. You can still be a qualifier out of high school, go to JC for one year and then transfer to D-I without the associate's as long as you remain eligible, but you don't see that as often anymore.
