Will is probably just pissed that no one cares about college baseball.

The problem with education in this country has virtually nothing to do with football. The problem is leftist indoctrination by universities designed to propagandize our youth with liberal/socialist belief systems.

The correlation between bowl games and especially wins and alumni giving is extraordinary.

Big school football is its own industry. Has been for at least 50 years.

Big schools are also notoriously caste-based. The counting coup of academe seeps into everything, absolutely everything on such campuses. You don’t toe the line, you spin out toute suite.

You are right about leftists indoctrination...but I believe you are wrong about college sports I do not like nor do I follow college sports as it has ZERO to do with education....especially the way it is funded in this country...especially the way schools recruit mental midgets and defectives...but the term FAN should not be abbreviated when FAN means FANATIC and even child rape is acceptable to college football FANATICS

There can be more than one problem. The influence of big-time college athletics is greatly corrupting to the institutions.

Personally, I think this indoctrination idea is exaggerated. Students are far more influenced by modern culture and TV and movies pushing the cultural envelope than they are by their professors.

Good post. The problem is certainly the leftist bent of most colleges. This is the most asinine article I have ever seen regarding college sports. Will is a Rino idiot who was the last one picked for dodgeball.
