Kicking an athlete or 2 out of school or suspending a team for bad grades means losing money. The donors a school loses when a fraternity closes is nothing compared to that.

KSU': Interesting post, one that I can agree with.
Perhaps I should attemp/try to re-work my prior thought and posting.
I was trying to get to a small or lower level in this question. Is there any impact on a Greek house or System if players get a "free pass" on grades and GPA?
There are houses that for one reason or another have to keep GPA's at a certain level.
Does the benifit of having a player as a Brother/Sister (weither or not they live or take part in house activites) out weight the GPA?
Just a few random thoughts very late at night......
