Makes for a good soundbite, but is this really the point at which you stop and say "whoa, there's a human toll"?

Drink makes millions on a game that spits out kids with lifelong physical injuries, CTE, and a blasted endocrine system (most of the kids are on PEDs).

But the softball team has to make a connecting flight in Dallas, and that's the bridge too far?


If that's your take away, from your own head coach's comment, then you probably think all college athletics should be shut down.

No, I just don't like sanctimonious types.

Worry less about the softball team's connecting flight in Dallas, and worry more about the fact the football team's gone 6-7 the last two years.

College athletics will morph into private leagues populated by clubs affiliated in name only with the universities from which they split off.

Olympic sports that have a high profile professional levels like golf, tennis, T&F will survive. The others will be phased out.

In the future you will be rooting for your school's G-League Ignite.
