Should school athletes have to be on the honor roll to play in games?

I agree you student athletes should be on the honor roll to play in games. Many athletes main focus be on their football games or basketball games. I think if your grades not good you shouldn't play in sports. Education is more important than sports. College athletes just go to college to play college sports instead of trying get a degree or a education. Athletes today just want to go pro instead of having a plan b just in case they sport career don't work out. Playing sports isn't mandatory but going to school and get on the honor roll is. Coaches love to see players that is very smart. Coaches don't want a dumb person to play on their team. If athletes continue to get bad grades they going continue think its good to play sports with bad grades. I think athletes should at least maintain a C average in some classes. Sports doesn't get you a good job especially if you don't become pro. Some sports you play you do have to be on the honor to play in games. For example, my old high school you have to maintain a B average to play any sport. Playing sports just a fun thing you can do if you not working or going to school. For many students, sports are are an important part of high school experience(http://www.standard.net/stories/2012/03/13/athletes-often-held-higher-standard. Many high school and college coaches kick some athletes off the team because they was getting poor grades. I prefer to be smart and know how to play a sport good at the same time. What if you get hurt playing sports? Students be so tired of playing sports they forget they have homework, quizzes or projects to do. Going to school can get you a better job. Students need to be focus on their school work more. Many students can't balance school work and playing sports at the same times. In my high school all the athletes talk about doing class is going to practice after class they never talk about school . Students get upset when they don't make it to become pro. College athletes always need tutors because they somewhat doing bad in class. I personally don't like sports at all. I like to be focus on a better career for me. It's alot of pro athletes that didn't finish school. In this article http://www.goldengatexpress.org/2012/02/07/honor-roll-athletes/ they say between homework and social life its hard to keep up good grades. It's good to see a student athlete with good grades. Students play sports in high school so they can get a scholarship for college. Sports are some people passion. I think you should only play sports on your free time not doing school time. If you get a  scholarship they will look how good you play and also they will look at your grades too. Many people say smart students is good at sports. http://www.theridgefieldpress.com/3784/honor-roll-rhs-student-athletes-discuss-balancing-act/ think sports keep students off mean streets.
