I would not use the term "many" and it only applies mostly to one sport. That being Football. Academic records are important in all other sports as far as athletic scholarships are concerned. Even most College Basketball players are coming from private prep High Schools these days.
As far as the topic on hand, I have my reservations. Only because kids will drink alcohol, and the adverse effect of some drugs are no worse then alcohol. I would not feel right taking a student out of any extra curricular activity for smoking pot knowing others are drinking a few beers over the weekend.
