Fraternities, and sororities are a tradition, university sports can be done without. It’s not necessary to have a ton of athletic programs. A lot of the athletes don’t even study serious subjects or study at all. They just get drunk, stoned, and in their spare time vandalize the immediate area. Too many of them are not college/university material.

A good compromise is to keep the sports, but to have just as stringent scholastic requirements for the athletes as for everyone else. If great athletes who plan on going pro don't have the ...necessities to get into school and keep their grades up, then they should go straight to the pros. And if the NBA and NFL feel cheated that they lost their unofficial "minor leagues," then they should create their own, like MLB has.

Moronic thugs who have no intention of learning anything outside of their chosen sports should not be in school.

So you’re proposing banning something that is very meaningful to so many people? Because of some imbeciles?

Not all athletes are criminals or “pretend” students. I’m proud to say that the graduation rate of the 2015 University of Alabama football team was 4th in College Football. Are there bad apples? Sure, but don’t punish everyone for the crimes of a few.

That's one tradition I shunned and did just fine without.
