Charlie Strong: More than anything, what pissed me off was grades
A year ago, a lot was made of Charlie Strong’s first team meeting. Strong didn’t exactly go Ed Orgeron style, but he admittedly absolutely ripped the Louisville players.
Reflecting back, Strong told ESPN this week, "More than anything, what pissed me off was grades. That's why I said I want a team meeting right away, because of their grades.”
“You show me a good football team, and I'll show you good grades. You show me a bad football team, and I'll show you bad grades. [Bad grades show you] they're not committed, they don't care, they're just going through the motions. A team with good grades has players who want to graduate, who want good things to happen."

any data available to support that idea?
for example = the teams with the highest gpa's also have the best win/loss records....?
(of course there are always exceptions - data that support the idea would likely be longitudinal)
otherwise coach strong is just making noise for effect...

I absolutely, completely agree. Good grades are achieved through committment, structure, discipline and organizational skills --- all the skills possessed by successful athletes. So looking forward to the new & improved team of mature, committed ISU MEN of football. Go Bengals!
