Yes it is very important for student athletes to maintain a good gpa!! Exactly why the student comes first in student athlete. It means school, books, and studying always come before sports.
NO? that is unfair to other students
Student-Athletes represent the high school, college or university. Therefore I think they should be held accountable for their grades. I don't know the G.P.A they should have to maintain that should be predetermined by the institution. The rules should be strict and the consequences should be even more harsh. Some people do make mistakes but you can't just be good at sports to be successful in life. Also research B.J. Raji who is currently in the NFL. His story is he was academically ineligible for a whole year the next year he had an awesome year after he cleaned up his act in the class room and he was just a top 10 pick 2009 draft.
of course they should have to have good grades because if everyone were allowed to compete in sports with a suckish grade then nobody would know discipline and no one would learn lessons- you NEED GOOD GRADES FOR/IN COLLEGE!!!
The average student should do at least 2-3 of homework.
No, becasue athletes should be student athetes! They shoud learn how to live on there own first before having to deal with the pressure of being a professional athlete
athletes need to have good grades in order to play on after school programs because to have a minimum 2.0 GPA is not hard to ask for and school should come first
of course they should have to have good grades because if everyone were allowed to compete in sports with a suckish grade then nobody would know discipline and no one would learn lessons- you NEED GOOD GRADES FOR/IN COLLEGE!!! Yes! After all they are "Student-" athletes and academics comes before everything else. 90% [or more] of these young men will not go Pro. I do not care what their major might be, just as long as they complete their studies and graduate. With that said, I think ALL athletes must be able to maintain at the very least a C- average or roughly a 2.25 +/- GPA. That's not asking too much to be honest.
No pass, no play. If they make good, high grades then there is a smaller chance of them NOT passing.
Yes, professional athletes should be subject to drug tests to ensure fair competition and maintain the integrity of their sport. Testing helps deter the use of performance-enhancing substances and protects the health and safety of the athletes.
Athletes do ads because they're a way to make lots of money. Many "everyday", average people look up to athletes and will buy the products they endorse.
no
