That's fine. Idolize away. That has no bearing on whether schools should scrap football.
But just think if schools promoted academics as much as they promote sports. Maybe in time barriers could be broken.
I really think you're making too many assumptions here. People watch college sports because they find them entertaining. Without college sports, people will just watch pro sports, or whatever else entertains them. Schools do promote their academics. We just don't hear about it as much because we're too busy watching sports.

I don't have a problem with people watching sports.
My argument is that the business of sports entertainment should not be entangled with institutions of higher learning. It tends to undermine their purpose.
