I am much more disgusted by the really stupid people given 4 year full rides to colleges because they can play a game. The coach and waste of money on women is nothing compared to the millions wasted on some of these NFL and NBA prospects that cannot even speak clearly.

I'm disgusted with college sports offering scholarships as well. Colleges should not be "minor leagues" for the NBA and NFL. Scholarships should be offered on the basis of academic achievement only. No wonder this nation is getting so dumbed down when colleges put more emphasis on the ability to dribble a basketball than the ability to excel in mechanical engineering or physics.

I am with you ... this whole obsession with Football is undermining the College's core mission of education.
