Purdue Fort Wayne is ending their baseball and softball programs.

I'm afraid this is just the start.

I was wondering why there were so many softball members in the transfer portal.

Afraid of what? A shift back towards academics?

NIL is just completely out of control and having these type of rough downstream effects.

I totally think players of revenue sports deserved a bit more than what they were getting. With that said, it just feels like we've completely jumped the shark here.

And I never understood why in the past some people made it seem like the value of a college education was basically nothing. While their peers paid, often, thousands upon thousands of dollars for a degree, student-athletes get a free education, room, board, tutoring, connections not to mention the coaching/training facilities where they can prepare to go to the next level, if possible.

Yet, you would think that was nothing based on what people used to say and I think it's this attitude that helped lead to this out-of-control mess.

No, that would be a good thing. Afraid of a shift to club sports for the minor sports.

All the ncaa had to do was let them get endorsements and jobs. That’s it.

Let them make a few bucks for signing autographs at a car dealership or helping at a football camp.

Would not have cost the schools a dime.
