unless stats are fixed for skirm, it's pointless to even speculate as a player with high SP could have low WP due to primarily playing skirm.

Even if higher SP players come into the matches, they will be using the same level of equipment as everyone else, with only a slight advantage.
I used to play a game before I came to EvE where if your bridge Officer or any of your crew were above a certain level, you could not join that type battle...
It shouldn't be too hard to implement something similar based on meta lvl of the gear, however, with skills affecting performance of all things,(more than just "a slight advantage" with the right skills trained) a high SP player could rock militia gear and still roflstomp newbies with less SP and that type battle could end up being nothing more than an SP and KDR farm for lazy players who would rather not face a real challenge.
that of course would lead to player loss as they continuously got beaten without much chance of advancement.
in short, I agree with the premise, just not sure how CCP would be able to implement it in a "fair to the new guys" manner.

Until then, a tighten playerbase for new players doesnt sound like a bad idea. Just be very informative about it in game ! Maybe add a new screen tutorial when first launching the battle finder. And an auto in game email when a player is over the WP limit for playing this Instant Battle Academy.
Oh and another question,may have been asked already though : A new player can join a squad of vets and go into regular instant battles. Does it work the other way around ? Can a 100% noob create a squad, invite 5 proto and take them into Academy fights ? IF yes, then this is not going to work.... Worse it could end up with even worse stomping than we have now. New players can play with veterans in the normal queues using squads but it does not work the other way around. Veterans players will not be able to join the academy queue battles at all.
what about solo play or corp training battles?, are there any plans to implement this so that folks can practice their strategies and techniques in an environment where no one looses anything equipment wise, but no one gains SP or isks either?
realistically, they could be limited to starter and/or militia fits to make it so that players can test out tactics without getting stomped in the process.
or CCP could make that type training match cost a few isks, but still not pay out any isks or sp... just "time behind the wheel" per say...
