</script><div class="news_feature article"><h1>High school student-athletes who perform well in classroom rewarded in college</h1><p class="subhead"><span class="byline">Bill Wells, The Republican</span>, <span class="timestamp"> November 07, 2011 5 a.m.</span></p><p>The NCAA loves incoming <a href="http://highschoolsports.masslive.com/news/article/-7860137040276822035/college-coaches-prefer-high-school-student-athletes-who-have-good-grades/">student-athletes with good grades</a>, so much so that it has specific numbers in place which strongly encourage collegiate athletic programs to accept recruits who perform at a high level academically in high school.</p><p>How many people knew that?</p><p>Matt Johnson is the Associate Director of Athletics at <a href="http://www.aicyellowjackets.com/index.aspx?path=wsoc&tab=soccer2">American International College</a>, which can grant athletic scholarships because its programs compete at the Division I and II level. Many financial issues, including academic and athletic scholarships, regarding all athletic programs crosses his desk. He's also the women's soccer coach.</p><p>&ldquo;The NCAA, I don't want to say forces us, but encourages us to focus on better (academic) kids,&rdquo; said Johnson, who's in his sixth season as head coach for the Yellow Jackets.</p><p>Most colleges (and maybe all of them) offer academic scholarships. At AIC, Johnson said the Springfield school uses a scale in regards to how much money it will grant an incoming student, based on that student's high school grade point average and SAT score. Other schools also take into account class rank. Schools regularly offer anywhere from a few thousand dollars to full scholarships for top-notch students.</p><p>&ldquo;The smarter the kid, the better chance of achieving that higher academic trigger award,&rdquo; Johnson said.</p><p>In regards to playing college sports, though, there's a bit of a catch, and that catch is forcing the hand of many college coaches.</p><p>The NCAA has set very specific standards regarding student-athletes receiving academic money as well as athletic money. Keeping in mind athletic programs are only allowed to grant a certain amount of athletic scholarship money each season, if a student-athlete meets one of the NCAA's academic standards, that student-athlete's academic money will not go against the team's allotted scholarship money; however, if a student-athlete does not meet one of the NCAA's academic standards, that student-athlete's academic money will go against the team's allotted scholarship money.</p><p>For example, Michigan's men's volleyball team has $100,000 worth of scholarship money, which includes athletic, academic and any other grant money. John Doe is given an academic scholarship worth $15,000 and an athletic scholarship worth $5,000, and John Doe also meets one of the NCAA's academic standards. John Doe's $15,000 academic scholarship will not go against Michigan's $100,000, leaving the team with $95,000.</p><p>However, Jim Smith is given an academic scholarship worth $15,000 and an athletic scholarship worth $5,000, but Jim Smith does not meet one of the NCAA's academic standards. Jim Smith's $15,000 academic scholarship goes against Michigan's $100,000, leaving the team with $80,000.</p><p>&ldquo;Logically, who am I going to go after?&rdquo; Johnson said.</p><p>For Division I programs, the NCAA standards include: 3.5 GPA in core classes, 1,200 SAT on reading and math, 105 ACT, or a class rank in the top 10 percent. The figures are similar for Division II: 3.5 GPA for core classes, 1,140 SAT on reading and math, 100 ACT, or a class rank in the top 20 percent. If an incoming student-athlete who receives athletic money meets one of those NCAA standards, the academic money will be exempt toward a team's allotted scholarship money.</p><p>Based on the NCAA's standards, many of the coaches at AIC have made a push over the last few years to recruit high school athletes who also perform at a high level in the classroom.</p><p>&ldquo;For every sport here, and I work with every coach here, the academics are the most important thing for a number of reasons,&rdquo; the 1996 Holyoke Catholic High School graduate explained. &ldquo;Number one, you know, in most cases, you're bringing in a kid who is going to be a productive member of the college community and you're not going to have to babysit. The other thing is it increases their academic trigger award. Most institutions now have these academic trigger awards, and this is separate from athletics. Most institutions have these triggers before you even get to the athletics.</p><p>&ldquo;And most of us are strategically doing this now. I've seen a shift since 2007 when we really found out from the NCAA how everyone is supposed to be doing it. Once I explained that to all the coaches, every one of them is doing their best to recruit smarter kids now. You'd be crazy not to.&rdquo;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></div><div class="clear">&nbsp;</div>
