College sports jumped the shark a long time ago. It’s time to return all college sports to a club basis. No scholarships. Pay coaches like any other faculty member. Regular academic standards (essentially non-existent on many campuses anyhow) with no tutoring combines to nurse athletes through. No time off or special arrangements for practice or travel. Treat athletes like all other students, no more and no less.
Why stop at sports? Plenty of non-athletes at a college get special treatment too . . . the musician, the debater, etc.
Go back to Luddite-ville. Part of the college experience is going beyond the library. And BTW, those coddled athletes consistently get higher GPA’s and serve their communities more than the non-athletes do.
