What if you think pretty strongly that the kid just isn't putting forth the effort? What if there is a walk on that is busting him hump on the field and in the weight room, studying film, first one to get there and last one toe leave and you have a scholarship player who is just doing the minimum and that minimum puts him way behind the walk on on the depth chart. Does the scholly kid get to keep his just by getting by, denying the walk on a grant in aid? Doesn't seem right to do that does it?
appreciate the response, I concede not black and white. Still think you need minimum reuquirements and if they dont make that ok, but otherwise, I still think, you hit on most I hope, and miss on a few. I assume youll always have a few who do just go thru the motions, given the amount of work involved, I would like to think the numbers cant be too high, college would be a lot easier without football practice assuming you really didnt care... In your example, I would assume that the followign year you may give that walk on a scholarship...
Two things: the GPA doesn't just fall out of thin air. It comes for the subjectivity of individual professors. So okay, let's give each athlete a grade from his position coach, head coach, strength coach, and tutor which will make up his athletic GPA.
Second, we got one smart head football coach. So smart that most of the Legion of the Miserable can't keep up. It's funny to watch their ill attempts to bring him down. Go Coach Dooley!
