I also wear sweat pants and a sports jacket to school, especially if I attend a morning class. Even though people have conformed to the thought of dressing professionally (or casually, at the very least) in an educational institution, dressing comfortably is what's important. Besides, you should dress how you want to after having purchased your last chemistry textbook for $250.
People who dress comfortably to classes rarely seem to make much of a positive impression on the professors who will be writing their letters of reference when they want to further their education beyond an undergraduate degree.
But, hey, it's comfortable and not everyone will need references, so why not.
If you were a professor and one of your students has the highest average in the class, yet usually wears a trifling attire, would you write him/her a reference?
Academic transcripts are used to explain a student's academic achievements. A letter of reference, however, explains the personal impression the professor has of the student. That impression includes things like the student's disposition and [or] professionalism, which is something graduate schools and some employers are interested in. Grades are only one part of the whole picture.
Is it normal to wear sports clothes to college?

Possibly.
