Athletic scholarships should go to students who would otherwise be accepted academically. and schools shouldn't be the venue for young athletes who could earn a living in minor pro leagues
as i mentioned above, i'm not saying there should not be sports teams in schools. i'm saying that their athletes should have otherwise qualified academically, and that athletes who don't qualify should have options to play professionally without corrupting the institution of student-athletics
The reason why my grandfather resigned as an administrator…there was this running back who hadn’t made the grades, and the team had a bowl game…The team won the game, the kid played great. Next season, suspended for failing a drug test. Marijuana. It’s a weird world. Grandfather tried to retire, eventually was coaching a smaller division school, he loved the game.
That means making Alabama’s football team into an actual minor pro team. That means the University gives up all those TV deals, ticket receipts, and merchandise revenue. I’m not saying it will never happen, there’s obviously big change on the horizon, but I’ll believe it when I see it. A coach shouldn’t be the highest paid faculty member either, but…
i'm not saying that schools shouldn't have teams. i'm saying that their teams should be made up of students who would have qualified academically in their field of choice. the focus of the players should be the education. other young athletes who excel but don't qualify for college should be able to earn a living in pro major and minor leagues.
Derrick Rose, a star athlete, had another person take his SAT, spent two semesters playing college ball without even taking a course. This is a corruption of the institution

We don't agree. Universities need the money sports generate to function.
However, I think there should be a bare basic minimum academic qualification to join a university via athletic preference.
