I wish you would of had this last year, grades were the reason I couldn't run track in college my freshman year. I love WVU tho.
That's a common problem, especially down here in Texas. You have these kids who are held accountable on the football field, and taught to perform at a very high level, but allowed to let their academics slip. So you end up graduating a bunch of former athletes with no future.
Surprisingly enough, we've closed on a couple of solid recruits with high GPA's and test scores that for whatever reason didn't get an offer elsewhere.
It's our goal that by the time our kids complete our 1 or 2 year program, they'll be polished, collegiate level athletes with the grades and test scores to get into a real 4 year university. They retain all of their eligibility, and pay no tuition (including room and board). We offer Football, Soccer, Baseball and Men's and Women's Basketball, but no track at this time.
