College without sports

[Unkotare]

Imagine, if you will, American colleges deciding collectively that while they can hold classed in a fairly rational manner under the Covid constraints, in sports it's just not feasible. There is too much contact and "togetherness" intrinsic with Sport, so they just drop sports altogether...for a time.

The fact is that the vast majority of college sports programs lose money. They make a bit of money on football and basketball, and those surpluses partially fund the other sports ("stupid sports"), but overall, when considering the staff, facilities, and expenses of the sports programs overall, they lose money.

Then maybe they would make it permanent. No college sports. No athletic scholarships. No AD's. Just like EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, where college sports is/are a total mystery.

To quote the old song lyric, "...what a wonderful world it would be."

Post-high school Yoots who want to play sports would have to play for "club" teams. The major leagues would have to support minor-professional leagues to nurture the talent, rather than forcing the colleges to do their work for them.

Can you even imagine it?

There should be zero, none, nada athletic programs at public colleges and universities outside intramural athletics. Private schools can do whatever they want. If you want to play professional football, you can just apply for it like any other job.

Another 98lb weakling who wishes his own shortcomings were reflected in reality.

I guess when you can't argue on facts, you have to resort to the personal attack. Is that what sports taught you?

You provided no "facts," just your ignorant opinion.

I responded to a troll thread whining about sports by a troll who has whined about sports hundreds of times before. My opinion is based on experience, yours is based on bitterness.

.....football and basketball scholarships discriminate against white students --plain and simple....

disciminate against white boys you done bumped your head. I am white and guess what got me a scholarship. may not see a bunch of white dudes on major college basketball teams but plenty amongst smaller schools. Look at the smaller schools and whites many times out number blacks on the football team. I did not need help to compete and atheletes want to face atheletes no matter what the color. I do not know an athelete that does not want to face good competition. I bowl jackpots these days with a hall of famer and lose consistantly but the experience is priceless. I fish with pro fisherman and get beat regularly but every time I fish with them I lose less. You are obvously not an athelete. Discimination is to rid me of these oportunities.

you obviously are an amateur and dumbass
13% of the population--who graduate high school at lower rates--but make up almost 60% of the NCAA?????!!! - discrimination

your obviously a peice of trash racist go fuck your self. you need momma to tell you are better because you are white but then say you need hlep to compete.. LOL go fuck your peice of trash cryiing bitch self. go play tiddly winnks with your children your bitch ass might win and you can feel good about your self for a minute.

hahahhahahahahahahahahhaah
wow---typical --the truth hurts you people and facts make you upset
hahahahahahahahhahaha

ya i get it you need help to protect you from the black man we all geti t. you cant compete and want special consideration. We all get it. I guess you could not beat the kids at tiddly winks. maybe next time. Bet your bitch ass hurts dont it!LOL

Experience? Yeah sure. No the opinion is based on the stated mission of publicly funded colleges and universities. Football and ice hockey aren't mentioned in those mission statements.

Traveling across the nation on the taxpayer dime to play a meaningless game is not just wasteful, it's an obscene expenditure for the "cash strapped" institutions. If you're an example of what sports produce, you should stop talking. You sound like an idiot.

Is there any other college sport other than football that really counts

Yes, all of them.

I wish I weighed 98 pounds.
No, just a taxpayer who doesn't want to see the football coach be the highest paid public employee in the state.
As for "sounding like an American", congratulations; you stooped to a new low.

Football doesn't count either. Remember the 2008 game between Tech and State? Neither does anyone else.

Did you need two hands to push down each key on the keyboard to post your reply, Poindexter? In a state of nature, you're the prey animal Granny feels bad for when she's watching the Nature Channel.

Everyone who played in the game or watched their Alma mater does. You must have missed it while you were working on your coloring book.
