...bullying in highschools/colleges? My logic is that sports, and people on sports team focus primarily on social achievement in school, rather then academic achievement. Where as "nerds", "geeks", and general "outcasts" tend to focus more on academic achievement.

If the social focused group "jocks", "cheerleaders", and "popular kids" were to give up the social life of a sports team and instead be more pushed towards academic achievement, thus creating a common ground between "geeks"/"nerds" and "Jocks"/"cheerleaders", would the bullying of "jocks"/"cheerleaders" be subdued?
