Without football, the other sports won’t even exist. Say goodbye to Title IX and all of womens sports. Say goodbye to all the athletic scholarships.
Come to think of it, maybe this is a good thing.
It would definitely be a good thing. How the higher education system became a huge entertainment business is an accident of history we should take a do-over on.
I know the wnba knows this.
Yup, and exactly why football will never go because if it does all of the other programs go with it with the possible exception of basketball and golf.
IMO, the college sports of the past are not the college sports of today wherein some look at them as a stepping stone to a professional sport. Used to be you picked a school and stayed for 4 years. Today they have changed that so one can move to a school that suits their talent or where there is not a better player ahead of them. Lastly in our dumbed down nation, it seems a good number of individuals soaking up space, money, and other resources at schools are there for the party life. It galls me to see foreign students outperforming our local people in academics but it seems like everything else, our nation is sinking. With Trump we have an individual who promotes excellence, accountability, and patriotism verses what he fights against which is anathema to my beliefs.At 75 I believe I have the observed history to make these statements. Nothing is like it was 50 years ago, and mostly not in a good way.
