My reading of the tea leaves (mixed with two scoops of hope) is this reflects UCLA trying to create an education path that is less intense (that's not a criticism) for athletes who spend ridiculous amounts of time honing their craft, leaving not tons of time for studies.
I think that's a good thing. And, it doesn't harm the school in any way.
I'm not sure why you singled out grad students - my reading of the article was that it was a for undergrads too. Yes, they mentioned Anderson, but I read it as encompassing undergrad studies too. Maybe that was wishful thinking, and most certainly, my reading ability is always suspect. So, I don't know.
