Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 4680170, member: 9403"] Totally agree about the accomplishment of student-athletes having a similar GPA given the extreme demands on their time, and most of my friends in college who were varsity athletes were just extremely focused, efficient people who excelled at time management. And yes, having taught at both private and public universities in the top 10, I definitely felt more freedom to grade down in the public universities, where departments often have mandatory curves, so a non-trivial number of students will end up with B grades. That said, a B average is still a 3.0, so I'm pretty suspicious that the vast majority of students at most top public schools like UConn are averaging at least a B or better, possibly except outside some hard science disciplines...
