text: When students love, and want to play sports, and hear, "You must have a C grade average" , that makes them think they don't have to work hard in school. Getting a C is way easier then getting a B, all you have to do is not do your work. That has always been easy for kid to do. Unfortunately, sports isn't everything. There's a lot more stuff to be good at, like being smart. To play college or professional sports, you still have to go through school to make it to that point of college.
