Twenty years ago, I went to a Big 12 school on an academic scholarship.
I knew a woman that was raped by a basketball star (I was working in the dorms, and we were witnesses to the player going to her room and loud noises).
She was given a full ride scholarship to any other state school, as long as she didn’t press charges. We moved her out the next day.
I have also fired more college and semi pro ball players than I have retained. No discipline, no work ethic, major attitude problems. To the point where I will be very careful hiring one in the future.
Make them semi pro teams with the college logo if you must, but this is a farce.
The colleges\universities can rent out the logo and make money that way.
