That's been going on since the 70s. I played baseball, basketball and football from K through highschool (late 70s to early 80s) and we got participation awards until high school. Kids were divided among teams after skill days. Whooptee do. I win and lose better than most a-hole hard core win at all cost super dads I know. Just let em be kids and play ball. Keep score. Play by the rules, and relax when your kid gets a 6" plastic trophy at the end of the year. Relax if they don't. Just relax. Some of you clowns suck all the fun out of athletics.
Not sure that has any bearing on academics. At all. Except that parents are so concerned with winning, they can't handle if their kid is average. Maybe the problem is win at all cost parents.

If I were in charge, each team would have three trophies at the end of the season.
MVP
Most Improved
Best Sportsmanship
That's it.
