Here’s a better idea. Let’s get rid of intercollegiate athletics! It’s just a disgrace how college athletic teams bring in a bunch of people who really don’t have the mental accuity to be there, prop them up so they can stay matriculated, so they can play this sport or another. Just how does that comport with what college is supposed to be about? Yeah, I know there’s a ton of money involved. Coaches make millions, and the schools count on TV revenue and all that BS. But none of it furthers the mission of a college education.

A whole set of evils of which money is the root.
