Academic Eligibility Standards for Student-Athletes

The importance of student-athletes focusing on their grades can not be over stated. Student athletes with higher GPAs and better test scores have far more opportunities than those with lesser levels of performance. Coaches search for good students as often as they search for good athletes. So it’s very important that student-athletes work hard to keep their grades up, that they take the board prep courses, and that they take the ACT and SAT tests as often as they can. In order to be eligible to play at different collegiate athletic teams, it’s important that student-athletes understand the academic eligibility requirements that relay to each level of competition.
