Players are expected to excel in the classroom, strive for a 3.0 GPA, graduate, and enter the job force with experience, drive, and know-how. Each fall the ballplayers enter college and are thrust into a stringent academic environment. All freshmen, first-year transfers, and upperclassmen who have not yet achieved a satisfactory cumulative GPA must all attend study hall twice a week. The kids are monitored by a member of the athletic department.
