Athletes Honor Roll

406 Words1 Page

Should athletes be on the honor roll to play sports? I think that school athletes should have to be on the honor roll just to play sports The reason I say yes is because, the athletes have to be on the honor roll to play sports. The athletes have to be passing their classes to play sports. For example, here at Teague High School you do and don’t have to be on the honor roll to play a sport. Here at the school you have to be passing to play basketball,volleyball,softball,track and field,football, baseball,tennis and golf. Student should be passing with a 75% or above to play the sport that they are in. Students would be overwhelmed with having to get good grades to do sports. What if they don't have a team anymore then they're going to

    College athletes are manipulated every day. Student athletes are working day in and day out to meet academic standards and to keep their level of play competitive. These athletes need to be rewarded and credited for their achievements. Not only are these athletes not being rewarded but they are also living with no money. Because the athletes are living off of no money they are very vulnerable to taking money from boosters and others that are willing to help them out. The problem with this is that the athletes are not only getting themselves in trouble but their athletic departments as well.

    “Maintaining good academic standing is part of the student athlete culture,” according to women’s head soccer coach Jack Hyde, “It’s part of their responsibility...they embrace it,” he said (Stricklen). “I love football and I wouldn’t want to mess it up by not getting good grades in all my classes,” said Narayan, a student athlete (Given and Tribou). However, more and more student athletes are not finding studying and keeping their grades up a priority. Most student athletes dream of one day becoming a professional athlete, but without good grades, they won’t be able to go to a good college to play for. Being an athlete with good grades also benefits them when trying to get scholarships. Becoming a professional

    Have you ever thought that you weren’t prepared enough for a test? What would happen from there? Well, you’d probably fail. To you this may just be one bad grade in the book, but for many student athletes this means losing their spot on the sports team. Many adults have not realized how counterproductive the ‘No Pass No Play’ rule is. It takes away the chance of learning lessons that can not be achieved in the classroom, pushes kids to cheat, and even makes some kids feel bad about themselves, but that’s just the start of it. After viewing the statistics, many people have realized that kids should not be required to have passing grades to be able to participate in school sports because it prevents stress, keeps students on the right track,

    Should there be grade requirement for athletics? Should athletes have to be on the honor roll in order to play? Many states and schools have many different opinions. To be on the regular honor roll, you can have grades ranging from A’s to B’s with no more than one C. If you do have a C, you must have one A. In order to be on the honor roll, your GPA must be a 3.0. Some schools have made it easier to stay on teams with a low grade. School leaders are starting to see the good in making it easier for students to keep playing with poor grades. Students attending Rockford in Illinois are able to keep playing sports even with less than a C average. At some schools eliminating GPA requirements are upsetting students who think that playing sports

  • Student Athletes and Academics

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    For decades there has been a debate on student athletes and their drive to succeed in the classroom. From the very beginning of organized college level athletics, the goal to want to succeed in athletics has forced students to put academics to the back burner. In spite of the goal to want to succeed over a hundred years of attempts to check limits of intercollegiate athletic programs on colleges' academic standards still seems to struggle to this day. This brings to surface one of the most asked questions in sports, “What effect does college sports have on academics and economics?” Herbert D. Simons, Derek Van Rheenen, and Martin V. Covington, authors of “Academic Motivation and the Student Athlete” researched the topic on whether athletics and academics benefit each other. Bryan Flynn, the author of “College Sports vs. Academics” poses the question “Should institutions of higher learning continue to involve themselves in athletic programs that often turn out to be virtual arms races for recruiting talented players who bring big money and prestige, but put academics to the back burner?” Although both authors agree that sports have an impact on an athlete’s academics, the focus of their argument differs.

The coaches wanted me to play because when it came down to sports they thought I was a excellent player. I believe that a student shouldn't have to be on the honor roll to play sports because it's just a sport it made to have fun, your not getting paid to keep up your grades last but not least you never know what a student is going through so you don't know if they can keep up being on the honor roll.

    These poor misguided souls believe their way is the only way. More often than not, when these types of people talk of taking away certain choices, they tend to target sports, considering them to be barbaric and uneducational. When it is in fact they who are turning back the wheels of intellectual enlightenment with the narrow-minded view that we should all be alike. For us athletes, we are the only ones that are hounded by the coaches singled out in front of our teachers told that we need to get our grades; we are constantly holding grades that are higher than most of the other students in our schools. There is a program that makes very strict rules for us and that there is no gray line and that we all must meet the standards of a 2.0 or better, no more than one "F" or we can not participate in that certain sport, we can not ditch a class or get suspended for a certain amount of days.
