Grades are certainly important for student athletes. Most of them aren't going to be professional athletes, so taking advantage of a free education, especially at a quality university like Pitt, is a smart thing to do. Having that degree opens up doors that aren't there otherwise.

I am not the first Pitt blogger to notice and comment on the high expectations that many in the media have heaped on our Pitt Panthers basketball team for next year. After reading on Oakland Zoo and Pitt Blather about the brackets that Joe Lunardi had put out for ...
