text: To raise the grades for sport participation to a B average is not a good idea. I mean I make good grades but not all "JOCKS" do and that's why they are what they are. It is very hard to keep good grades and win for our school. If you change the grade requirement, the sports participant numbers will indeed decrease rapidly. The students I'm sure work as hard as they can and strive to work, but if you take the only thing that keeps them moving in school it won't be a pretty sight.
