[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the mind-body connection and why being fit and healthy is important but why do American colleges devote so much real estate and everything else to college sports, including academically elite colleges? Aren't these supposed to be academic institutions first and foremost? I understand that they are a source of revenue for colleges and may raise alum spirits but t[b]hey really don't seem to serve the best interests of current students, [/b]including the student athletes who devote endless hours and energy and risk injury for something that is unlikely to give them any financial returns in the real world. [/quote] Please. If you think current students, especially undergrads, are at the top of their list of concerns, you are seriously misinformed. [/quote]
