You mean students therr to get an education? Or did you mean athletes there to play school?

Call them students, athletes, or student-athletes. Regardless, the system should support their interests, not that of fans or alumni or coaches. And if fans and alumni don’t like it, they can withdraw their money and interest. But they can’t do it because winning is too important, so NIL will continue to be a factor. And coaches can go work a normal job if they don’t like it.

It’s not the student who has made a mockery of college athletics. It’s the fans.

When an SEC school would rather enroll a 5 star from Los Angeles who can’t spell his name (and pay him money to boot) over a 3 star in-state kid with a perfect SAT, blame the adults in the room.
