It’s not so much that these Marxist bomb throwers come up with these ideas as it is that half or more of the American people listen to them and agree. That’s fine, do away with college athletics entirely. The supposed purpose of college isn’t to train future pro athletes, train community organizers in disruptive communist tactics, or to act as a social justice-feminist-LGBT activist training center.
If they can't take advantage of the situation, whose fault is it? Not every school makes money off their athletic programs. Why should they further pay athletes who are already getting their tuition and other things paid for? The facts are: they shouldn't.
it affords a lot of black kids free college including room and board simply for being on the team....they don't necessarily have to even be good at it....
its the best break they'll ever get in their lives....
I get really upset when "they" talk about paying players....the players are already getting paid....free college which runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars at many institutions and all the free glorification and all that follows...
OTOH....the poor nursing students and teaching students and accounting students and pre med students get to face dramatically increasing college costs and NOBODY GIVES A DANG ABOUT THEM....
the NCAA likes to say that sports keeps the cost of college down...well, not for the vast majority....they're paying thru the nose to keep their professors fat and happy...
