I'm not sure how best to implement it, but I do think this is an important issue. From my perspective, I view D1 athletes as being exceptionally capable and centered individuals because they are able to compete in a very high level while balancing of the normal burdens that students have plus the additional burdens of athletics. Recently though we've seen that that idealized image is not always reality.
