text: The idea of having players maintain a b average can also be a bad thing. They could make the team and start to forget about their grades. They also might feel pressured because they have to sustain a certain grade to play something they love to do for the school they want to represent. We might also be missing out on very talented sports stars by setting a line in which they have to be in to play sports. For example, we could have a really talented basketball player but his or her grades start slipping and they are taken out of basket ball.
