[quote=Anonymous]The problem with all of this is that student-athletes need to pass the NCAA clearinghouse in order to be eligible for a D1 scholarship. If the high school maintains its academic rigor, a medicore high school student will need to score higher on their SATs in order to qualify. So the schools are in a quandry...either maintain rigor and hope the athlete scores well, or else the student doesn't qualify and they don't get a D1 scholarship. As long as the schools don't fudge grades and the kids aren't feeling used, but rather use the grades and boards as an incentive to achieve in and out of the classroom, I am ok with it. I have a problem with a kid who gets a diploma from a high school but can't go to a decent college on an athletic scholarship because they didn't hack it in the classroom and didn't get the support from the school needed for success.
