Wow, that coach is way out of line. Sadly he’s probably nowhere near being the only one.
Aside from strip clubs and the other stuff, this whole notion of elevating college athletes to some kind of superhuman position is just wrong. The special deluxe “dorms” or whatever they are, all the special treatments and privileges, high-end meals, etc. I understand that athletics means big money from TV and alumni and that’s who calls these shots, but that doesn’t make it right. This guy just took it to the next level down the slipperly slope toward the point where they just flat-out pay the jocks to play.
“...Just pay the jocks to play...”
Well, yeah. That’s really what is. This isn’t a recent phenomenon either. It’s been going on for at least 50 years.
