I agree wholeheartedly. Now if we could only find a way to "relieve some of the pressure on universities to put aside all academic and ethical standards in the name of football liberalism or basketball political correctness."

LOL. I’m afraid that would be a task of Herculean proportions. But seriously, I keep hearing “you can’t do this, it will hurt the program, school, players, coaches, tradition, etc”. Why is it that schools such as MIT and the University of Chicago seem to be doing just fine without athletics? Probably because they made a decision long ago to concentrate fully on academics instead of sports.
