Unbelievable.
RESPONSIBILITY. Lets spoon feed the little kiddies to prepare them for life. If ANY high school kid can't pass high school, its usually (99.9999%) the fault of the kid and his parents. No head coach in the state can magically motivate a student to desire academic excellence....I'm sure next thought will be "sit them down for bad grades", that might work until the losses pile up and the "sit" (ie. fire) the coach for lack of performance.
If and kid wants to go to college, then the responsibilty of there PARENTS & STUDENTS is clear...encourage hard work in the classroom, discourage the notion that athletics is the "free ticket". It isn't. Athletes and there parents are responsible for balancing the academic and athletic demands placed on these children.
