If you're not eligible in the classroom you're not eligible for the field of play.  Student-athlete.   

I don't want to tie all this to Trezevant. Although this particular story stems from there.  It's not a Trezevant only problem or Shelby County problem.  This is a nation wide problem.  Kids are being passed on to the next level without concern or care about their education or even if they will become productive citizens.   Education is the key.  If you can use athletics to help get yourself to the next level of education that's great.  But let's not fool ourselves here.  Some colleges and coaches only care if you can win them some games. It's like this at every level of play. We are only cheating ourselves. 

You just hit the nail squarely on the head. Happens on every level.
