Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5148840, member: 7511"] I’m not sure about WBB, but for many years JUCO’s served as repositories for academically deficient athletes, particularly men’s football and basketball players. It wasn’t primarily about grades per se. In many cases, it has to do with deficient academic transcripts and low standardized test scores. In order for an athlete to earn an athletic scholarship, they must meet certain academic qualifications which are a combination of grades, classes taken and test scores. Unfortunately, a number of high schools give passing grades to top athletes with little to no concern whether or not they are actually learning anything. In many instances, these HS athletes must go the JUCO route before they can qualify for a college scholarship. [/QUOTE]
