In a stunning ruling that has the potential to revolutionize COMPLETELY KILL college athletics, a federal agency said Wednesday that football players at Northwestern University can create the nation's first college athlete's union.

There, I corrected it for them!

“In a stunning ruling that has the potential to revolutionize COMPLETELY KILL college athletics.....”

As far as I am concerned, “college athletics” has no place in an institution of higher learning. When I went to UC Berkeley (yeah, I know it’s a $hit hole run now by a Communist) we never had a football team that was worth spit, because academic standards at the time eliminated all the morons with size 44 coveralls and size 4 hats. But now Cal’s “athletic director” earns a million bucks a year and the school drools over TV revenue and all that ancillary crap that has attached itself to “college athletics.” Colleges and Universities should give up being the farm teams for professional sports. You can’t get a degree in football and that fact that these morons get to come to a good school, do as little as possible to stay in (with a lot of cheating most likely and “help” from the faculty) and take up space that could and should be occupied by those who are really seeking a post-secondary education.
At the end of the day, all the schools end up as analogs of Penn State. And yet the “beer bellies” will crank up here on FR and trash what I’m saying because to would take away their weekend entertainment. You know, you guys who still think “Joe Pa” was a saint and that Penn State did all that it could to stop the “shower activities” of one of their “coaches,” you know one of those guys who “builds character” in our young. Flame Away!
