text: There is another reason that this is a good and wise plan. Since many students in sport related activities are doing so poorly in school, taking sports away from them might-no, WILL encourage them to do better in school. Imagine if instead of working all an employee did was slack off and sleep on the job, demoting or firing them would force them to work harder and not reward them for doing nothing. Just like getting paid, sports related activities should be considered a reward for doing what you are supposed to, and as a reward it will be that much more sweeter for all those who partake in these activities.
