Then the state would have to pony up the money the athletic department no longer brings in. The only way it ever works is if every school increases to the exact same standards at the exact same time with the exact same enforcement.

So?

Once again, the mission of any university, state or private is to educate it's student body. Not entertain them with Johnny Football scoring touchdowns.

Few athletic depts make money. Some football and few basketball programs do make money but they support dozens of non revenue sports.

I love college football and it's by far my favorite sport, but it's really gotten out of hand. Most schools have academic waivers for student athletes, and the academic help most get in college goes far beyond what the average student gets.
