Do You Have the GPA to Play?

By Shelia McBride & Howard Bell

Did you know that your high school GPA is not the same as your NCAA GPA? Give yourself a real opportunity to receive a college scholarship by preparing on all fronts. I would like to see you put fourth the same amount of effort making sure you are on task with meeting all of the NCAA Eligibility requirements, as you do playing your sport. Remember the NCAA Eligibility Center will not notify you until you are a senior in high school and by then it may be too late! You need to know if your high schools 48H form is updated. You should also know if your high school transcript matches up with the 48H form. What are you doing to ensure you are on track with meeting your goals academically?
