text: Many would seem to object to the thought of having to maintain a B average to participate in sports, but I for one, agree. Students may take it as unfair, but they do not realize that without education, they have nothing. To get into better universities, they will not accept grades that are not exceptional, let alone standard. I believe these students are trying to "just get by" in their class work, leading them to become irresponsible, lazy, and completely oblivious to the fact that the better jobs out there require more than a "standard" degree. Most school athletes believe that right out of high school, they will be drafted into a professional sports career, and for some, it is true. However, the statistics of ever making it into a professional league is slim, and for those who don't make it, and sadly don't care about their education, and end up getting a job that pays little to none and wishing that they did what they were supposed to do in school.
