The football team has study table for those who are not doing well in school and need extra help, in fact you have to have a certain GPA to get off study table and if you skip it is not a nice workout the next day. This falls on his shoulders not the coaches or anyone else. I also know a lot of athletes personally and although there are a few who do not take class too seriously I believe most of them do. I can think of many althetes in the past few years who are doing quite well for themselves as accountants, doctors and lawyers and other professions.
