    Opportunities for a good education are there if they are willing to work as much at that as at football”. (Sloan S. and Favero D. 1) Scholastics in student athletes unfortunately take a back seat role in their college years, because students believe that they are indeed helping the university. Every student helps the university in some form so what differentiates a student athlete from a regular student? Critics say that students should be paid for going above and beyond and taking time out of their day to practice or to play a sport that they could be studying or doing something scholastically related.

Young people playing sports is not a quality idea after all the amount of concussions has tripled in the last decade, and the pressure on kids from parents is a great quantity for these young adults. Although teenagers with plenty of things on their plate tend to better academically, it is very frustrating for teens to have coaches riding on them about practicing all year.

It is the one sport that must be eliminated immediately from all high school campuses due to sacrifices in academic curriculum, induced false hopes in professional athletic careers, and mounting evidence of long-term neurological damage.…

    Being a student athlete is a wonderful thing in high school, despite a lot of people only acknowledge the athlete part and not the student part.

It is important that student athletes maintain good grades because the work that they put into their school performance carries with them through life, putting too much of an emphasis…
