some imput from an academic athletic advisor

I guess he doesn't do many men's basketball or football teams then! But I do suppose that it depends on where the coaches recruit from.

My daughter is an advisor at a D1 school and it is all she can do to keep them eligible and in school. The stars feel that they can miss meetings, blow off their tutor and somehow someone will keep them eligible. Some of them are getting nasty surprises this summer. She says, however, that the female athletes on the whole do much better in school.
