re: Wall Street Journal: Why College Football should be banned

I was gonna make this point, but it appears you already did.... the whole idea that programs are "taking advantage" of student athletes is bullshite.... it's the kids that should be taking advantage of the situation -- an opportunity at a top flight education that they would otherwise had no shot at.

BTW, I have no problem with eliminating athletic programs that don't make money.

just don't really care that athletes are often on a different level than regular students. if they don't take full advantage of their opportunities, i just don't give a shite (as long as they're not disrupting or negatively affecting others). giving them the opportunity is magnitudes better than removing that opportunity
