Should college athletes have to go to school? My argument would be yes, because school is just as important as the sport that athletes play. It should be just as important because you want both programs to look outstanding and they should be held to the same expectations. Like the commercial on television says, there are over 400,000 student athletes and most of them will go pro in something other than sports. Every athlete can't go pro but every athlete can get a good education while in school. The statement above from the television commercial should be like a mission statement letting athletes know they all can't go pro in a sport but you can in a the career path you choose. So athletes should be held up to task of performing on and off the field, and should also put the effort they put in their sport as well as in the classroom.
