My dad who’s pushing 80 randomly brought up a good point yesterday. He said, “How’s come you never hear of kids sitting out because of grades anymore? Stuff like that used to happen a lot.”
Made me think. I don’t remember the last time I heard of a high level college student athlete in football or basketball having to miss a game due to grades. Are kids smarter nowadays? (I know, I laughed too.) The almighty dollar able to make any grade issues disappear? Colleges only recruiting smarter kids? (I know, laughed too when I thought of the SEC.)
And what about stuff like OWIs and other criminal or legal issues? Are kids behaving better nowadays? The almighty dollar able to make these issues not become issues anymore? Colleges only recruiting law-abiding kids? (I know, I laughed too when I thought of the SEC.)
Things that make you go hmm.
