I like the idea of athletic clubs, like you see in England, that serve as the source athletics, separate from schools. Complete from youth development teams straight up to the professional teams.
I’m all for it. And to do a thorough job, all schools who leave need to adopt offensive Indian nicknames.
In other words, Cal doesn’t like the rules.
Personally I agree with you but the reality is that a successfull football program like the University of Michigan has with its 100,000 + seats in its stadium, brings in hundreds of millions of dollars in ticket sales, television and merchandising every year........
And the revenues from these programs also go to scholarships for the real students......
