Yeah, they are taught all those things, but then they do stuff like this. Stanford, now this and who knows how many others. Frankly, there isn’t a NEED for an athletic program at uni.

No, “they” do not do this. An extremely small minority of this group gets into trouble. As compared to the general student body, student athletes get into less legal trouble then the rest, thing is athletes in trouble with the law makes sensational news headlines.

Accusing all athletes of being immoral is bigoted and has no place in discussions of schools of higher education. There is no NEED for bigots of any sort in our universities.

Perhaps you are mad, for some reason, that over 2/3 of the elected US presidents in the last 100 years were varsity athletes in college.
