text: If you were to make it a policy that students must have a grade of B average to participate in sports, it would make students want to do better in their school work. You and I both know that students would get a better scholarship if they get a grade average above a C. However, there isn't much initiative for students to try to get a better grade until it is much closer to senior year when it is usually too late to get a good scholarship. Since a lot of students at our school have a C and are willing to participate in sports or other activities, and they must have a B, those students would work harder to get a better grade.
