The only thing I disagree with him is about athletics... Universities should be about preparing for careers, and athletes are the absolute best at what they do, preparing for a professional career. As with all careers, only a few get to the top spots with the big money, but that is besides the point.
Disagree!
Colleges & universities should NOT be a farm system for professional football & basketball!
Let them spend the money & make the investment for a farm system. Then these athletes can prepare for their professional careers in a professional environment. Most of the athletes in the current system could care less about being students. They shouldn’t be forced to participate in the current hypocritical charade that their students.
