That sounds nice at first, but a couple of issues.
First, what about schools on the quarter system? Tech's winter quarter starts right after Thanksgiving, so going into a title game, and especially bowl season, our players would be in class while our opponents' are not.
Second, you'd have to do this for every sport. Basketball starts in fall and finishes in spring. So when would they take classes?
