Without fail every coach was happy to see my son's GPA and SAT scores for a number of reasons:

1- They felt that with a history of strong academics it would be one less concern. Less likely not to stay eligible, and one less headache for coaching staff.

2- The NCAA's new graduation rate policy will potentially cause schools to lose scholarships based on graduation rates.

3- No need to use one of his exemptions for admission to school.

4- Flexibility with academic and athletic scholarship dollars

5- More than 1 coach said ...2 players similar ability one has a 2.4 GPA and 900 SAT score the other a 3.4 and 1250....who are you going to take.

In South Carolina a number of academic scholarships available based on GPA and SAT score
