the corruption of the entire system inherent in calling them “students,” as universities construct increasingly preposterous excuses for curriculums and bend grade standards to suit them — many of whom are completely illiterate — needs to end.

there are many people in college who fit the description you’ve portrayed; most of whom have never participated in any sport...are we to shut down their collegial pursuits as well? Remedial education is not a college’s function; if they are illiterate, then shut down lower education and jail the parents, where the real villains are...

in actuality, all education has become an anachronism, and now exists for the sole purpose of turning out perfect little statists who will toe the governmental line without question; true coursework will be, and already has been, sanctioned out of existence, and social justice indoctrination will become the law of the land...but, by all means, let’s shut sports down...

Nonsense. Only affirmative action darlings and athletes are admitted to colleges without qualifications. Both classes need to be denied admission.

Remedial education is not a college’s function;

Plenty of colleges offer remedial education, and given the wide variation of secondary education across the country it is both necessary and proper. These "student" athletes "pass" those classes even when they fail them.

if they are illiterate, then shut down lower education and jail the parents, where the real villains are...

You have an alarmingly poor grasp of the size of the problem if you think a self-perpetuating education bureaucracy, a protect-deadbeats-at-all-costs union, and a money-no-object populace aren't every bit as complicit in our primary and secondary education issues as "bad parents."

in actuality, all education has become an anachronism, and now exists for the sole purpose of turning out perfect little statists who will toe the governmental line without question;

Paranoid nonsense.

true coursework will be, and already has been, sanctioned out of existence,

More paranoid nonsense.

and social justice indoctrination will become the law of the land...but, by all means, let’s shut sports down...

Nobody is talking about "shutting sports down." Baseball doesn't need college farm clubs, and neither do football and basketball. If colleges want to sponsor teams they can do that without letting these barbarians behind their gates. They aren't students. Pretending they are is corrupt and immoral.
