There are alot of people going to college right now. colleges, even the low ranked ones are getting more apps than they are use to. They are taking the most qualified people only. Many say the minium requirment is a 2.0 GPA. Thats the Minium when you could get accepted when there was nobody going. Now that they have more people than they can take you must be the most qualifed.

I would assume it's a combination of more people wanting to go to college (so the spaces available can be filled by the larger number of people who meet tougher criteria) and ongoing grade inflation.
