@Viking0 posted:It doesn't surprise me as there are people on top of the student athletes nonstop that is not the case with regular kids. If a kid starts struggling in a class, there is somebody who will bug them. As a faculty member, I get pinged all the time on how the student athletes do. I wish there was a system in place for regular students like that..... Oh well.
There is one fraternity on my campus that requires pledges to give them permission to get academic progress reports from profs during the semester. I know nothing else about the organization and whether it is a net positive for its members; but it does seem to help motivate underclassmen to keep up with school work.
