the article says
The new standards begin to go into effect this fall, when 40 percent of the incoming athletes must have a 3.0 GPA or better. That number climbs to 60 percent next year and to 80 percent in 2017.
If this is not for each sport, and the wording of "incoming athletes" is unclear, they can have a lot of football and basketball players with a GPA <3.0 and still meet the requirement for 40%, 60% and 80% of all incoming athletes as I would guess that their athletes outside of football and basketball generally have a GPA over 3.0
