I am absolutely serious. I completely agree that the true value to our society of the farmer, fireman, or military person is far greater than that of a college athlete.
However a free market not restrained by artificial regulations or programs is the surest route to providing free people what they want to spend their money on.
This may bring about the scenario you express concerns about, colleges having to stop depending on football teams for huge sums of money,…….i think that would be GOOD. Let the education the college is providing stand on its own merits.
I also agree that our priorities have gone astray, and maybe if we let this play out we will get a correction that will bring all of this back to a more sane system.

I said in another post, this thing has always been a house of cards and fans didn’t see it because, well, they’re fans. And fans have tunnel vision.

I love you response by the way. Sounds well thought out with one exception.
There is no way that there is an incoming freshman that is worth what they are demanding. Even though they have been determined by a recruiting service to be a 4 or 5 star. Maybe after 2 years of major college competition their worth would be what they demand. Just as the markets correct themselves from time to time, this will as well. Or it will die on the vine.
