Academics are extremely important in athletics. Players are student-athletes, with student being first for a reason! #TXHSFBCHAT

txhsfbchat - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:06 PM EDT

As educators it is important we stress excellence in the classroom as much as we do on the field #TXHSFBCHAT

Player Academics. In TX we have No Pass, No Play. If a player fails a class (under 70), they are ineligible to play for 3 weeks #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @HSSocialMedia

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

In TX, the official statewide check occurs at the 6th week of school and the next at the end of the next grading term #TXHSFBCHAT

txhsfbchat - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT

After 3 weeks, the player has to be passing every class in order to regain eligibility #TXHSFBCHAT

Once younger players see bench warmers going D3 to play, academic focus will take over your team mindset. #TXHSFBCHAT
