However, our team does not have this required GPA, which personally seems like a great idea. I would like to implement it onto the team, but im not sure how some of the high school teachers would take this (wether they would be for or against it.)
If you have any suggestions on how to break this to them or get them to join the band wagon please PM me.

I was the same exact way. My grades were highest in the spring... then I got bored and they dropped fairly significantly. I finished with a 2.9867 and a maroon tassel. I got ripped off, I should have had a gold tassel.
