After all, I’m sure you would agree that the purpose of universities was to provide an education.........NO?
the purpose of universities was to prepare young people for gainful employment opportunities, of whatever type...
why are you claiming that employment through sport is any different from employment through business degree coursework...?
Why are you attempting to equate education via degrees, which is the primary job of universities and thus the foundation of educational scholarships designed to help families who would normally not be able to afford to send their child to that school to those educational freebies given to the athletes whose sole purpose is to generate revenues for their football or basketball programs?
You know darn well who these athletes are and the NBA and NFL are filled with them. Their million dollar contracts should be predicated on reimbursing their respective universities for their minor league participation.
