  • farahsafi1 Yes, jocks and athletes are typically portrayed as unintelligent (sometimes to the point of being Too Dumb to Live). But this guy, or girl, is different — this jock just made the Dean's List and has to choose between an academic scholarship to a prestigious Ivy League school, or the football scholarship in the Big 12. In other words, it's what you get when you combine a well-toned mind with well-toned muscles. For whatever reason, at least in fiction, this character is usually much more likely to be female than male, even though the sports being played are traditionally male-dominated. In real life, it's a much different story, as plenty of male academic athletes exist, but at least in fiction, Academic Athletes are Almost Always Female, possibly for feminist (or not-so feminist) reasons.
