Giving Scholarships to college athletes was a grand idea to allow a poor kid who excels at sports a chance to get a college education he would not have been able to obtain otherwise.

And if he can make 100 times more catching a football, then what's wrong if that's what the college exclusively educates him in? Does Juilliard make their viola scholarship students take organic chemistry? Does anyone ever write that up as a travesty?

I think you will find that the rigorous achedemic education curriculum of the musical, acting and dance students at Julliard is up to the same standards as the best schools in the country.

If all that the schools expect from an amateur athlete is to learn how to play games which will make them both large sums of money, they have lost their way as well as the athlete. They are supposed to be on the receiving end of a quality education.
