A+ for the Spartan women!

Chris Barsotti writes that it's "only fitting" that the Spartans women's unbelievable basketball season deserves a grade of A- ("Women's team's season solid overall" SN 4/8). How would Chris feel if professors graded that way?

Let's think of Chris taking a class with about 250 other students. Imagine Chris doing an incredible job, acing practically everything and getting the second-highest grade in the entire class. The only exam questions Chris misses are questions that practically no one else could answer either. Would it be only fitting that Chris should get a grade of 3.5?
