Sports 4 Hire

            Does the attempt to have high quality athletes on campus undermine educational standards? .
             Sports that are provided by the college, are what attract a large number of students to the school. The.
             standards that the school sets for these students are a reflection of how the school views academics, and the.
             importance that academics are to the school. The attempt to have high quality athletes on campus is secondary.
             in regards to academics. Any and all colleges have a minimum G.P.A. requirement that all students must.
             maintain before they are able to graduate. This standard does not change for athletes of any caliber. High.
             quality athletes on campus don't undermine educational standards, but it provides a benchmark for the future of.
             education and athletics. High quality athletes often surpass the minimum requirements. This shows that the.
             college views excellence as a beneficial attribute, therefore increasing its position as an academically focused.
             institution. Athletes in general are brought up with the drive and determination to achieve, and if they don't do.
             well they are pushed in the direction that is most beneficial to them. Education and athletics are complementary.
             to each other, and it only benefits the school, and does not undermine educational standards when there are.
             high quality athletes on campus. .
             What does sports have to offer colleges that offsets this tradeoff? Some students that are interested in going to.
             college are also going to be athletes. A college that has a good sports program is more likely to have positive.
             enrollment. Sports are like additional advertising for the college. The colleges student-athletes are in the paper,.
             they are winning championships, they are constantly in the publics' eye. This type of publicity reaches future.
             students. It also reaches alumni. People are more likely to get behind a winner than a loser is. .
             What would be lost by unlinking big time sports with Colleges? .
