12 hours would certainly be in line with many students

A lot of the kids in my class ('07) only needed to take 12 hours as juniors and seniors to graduate in four years. All those students entering ND with 33 and 34 ACTs often have nearly a semester's worth of AP credits in History, English, Calc, Biology etc.

I'd be interested to hear ND's reason for not letting football players only take 12 hours, especially in the fall.
