I have praised coaches for certian items that raise their GPA's. I have a friend who's daughter went to Baylor for 4 years on a Cross Country scholarship, not really a high level cross country athlete, but a 4.0 for 4 years. The athletic scholarship was more for her grades than her athletic ability, because they needed to raise their GPA of their department.

She's now in med school.

If grades don't matter, then why are they STUDENT athletes?

And it's going to be tough to keep winning with 10% fewer scholarships.
