I don't see that happening, but then again I don't see where this is going. To some degree the colleges brought it upon themselves by bringing in and giving scholarships to athletes with sports potential who would not have qualified academically.
The problem is deeper than just sports. It's admissions in general. The process is so far removed from determining and accepting the most qualified students that it's absurd.
I made that prediction based partly on how deeply many academics hate sports. There’s no love lost for sports like football and many eggheads would gladly join hands with radical feminists to wield the budget cutting axe.
