    While there of course exceptions, the stereotype for jocks has always been of them taking easy classes. My guess is that Oregon's student athlete academic facilities allow their kids to be more efficient with their time. I've also noticed more kids having honor roll type HS grades

    I think it's also a matter of staying more on top the players in the classroom.
