[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't this end up dumbing down the curriculum?[/quote] Why do you assume student athletes are dumb? [/quote] Because most are. There are a minority of students who are strong academic performers, but that is extremely rare.[/quote] What’s your source for this? “Dumb jock” is a stereotype. Most of the kids, football included, I know who are top athletes are also great students. They have tight schedules and focus their time around those schedules. [/quote] Like I said there are some smart athletes...but a school will tolerate poor academic performance for strong athletic performance. It happens in many high schools and universities (not all). But SJC is definitely one of them. That is why they have such a strong football team. Same with a lot of SEC schools. That's the reality of it. [/quote]
