John Cook, Nebraska Volleyball: Good students are disciplined, they do their homework and usually have great time-management skills. If they’re making great decisions all week long in the classroom, they’re probably going to make great decisions in a match when it matters most.
Chris Petersen, Washington Football: The reality is that college is going to be tougher than high school. To be successful at Washington, you need to be a good student when you get here. Or at the very least, show that you’re trending up and making progress in the classroom. Pac 12 football is tough. Being a student at Washington is just as tough. If you’re not qualified and motivated, you won’t fit in well here.
