I think this whole athletics thing is more about parents living through their kids than anything else but coaches clearly get kids into schools that they would not qualify for. But kids need to have both, some smarts and be an exceptional player.
Average academics and pretty good lax doesn't cut it
This fool agrees. The whole point of the original comment was that the student athlete should work just as hard at getting good/great grades as they do at lax. A heck of a lot more doors will open for the great student that is good at lax then the average student who is a great lax player.
