If they were FOCUSED on their school work and their athletic interest they would NOT get pregnant in the first place.

I think your rock shifted. I’m glad to see this issue come to light and for schools to acknowledge pregnancies do occur among student athletes and to begin taking appropriate steps. I was focused on my academic obligations (3.9 gpa), athletic obligations...oh and wait, also engaged in consensual adult relations and became pregnant. I was fortunate enough that I was able to meet the obligations of my athletic and academic scholarships and still was able to give birth in April prior to graduation in May. Oh and yes...went on to graduate school on full scholarship, graduated, became an employed single parent all the while not receiving government handouts.
