Calling out Mosiah - What is academics?

[Time]

Mr. Mashall, the description for the other sports forum is 'Forum for discussing Cricket, Track & Field, Basketball and other sports.

Would you please explain why a discussion of academic grades should be classified as other sports?

Maybe some of the schools listed in the report do treat academics grades as just another sport?

Maybe it is just a recreational activity of lower importance than Football, Cricket, Track & Field and Basketball?
