I often see the football players and the basketball players taking academically “easy” courses just to get the A and keep their grade point averages up. We all do it to an extent. Buy hey, I saw one dude in my anatomy class who played varisty football graduate, go to the nfl, and then become a doctor, so there are anomalies, right?

  Not everything can be generalized. There will always be those who take advantage and those who crush the stereotypes. Not all football players take easy courses, I was personally a Varsity Football Player for a State Championship team, while taking college courses. Many of my teammates went on the make great accomplishments academically and in their careers.
