[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t turn this into a thread that should be in politics forum.

My kid is a sophomore in HS and looking to play in college and this absolutely sucks. If you think UVA, Va Tech, UMD, etc won’t do it too, you’re high. And consider that men’s soccer doesn’t really make schools money (it’s not football). [/quote]

Professional sports should have farm teams and colleges and universities should have intramural and intermural teams without recruiting, scholarships or a special admissions process. [/quote]

I get what you are saying as college athletics has drastically changed from the days of true amateurism that was seen back in the perceived good old days. But, this evolution to where we are today has only been accelerated with the allowance of compensation for athletes.   There are really no guardrails any longer.  What led to the death sentence for SMU football in the 1980s is now 100% acceptable today.

But, I don't see what you are suggesting happening anytime soon.  There's just too much $$ being made at these major schools for them to walk away and return to their initial core mission of education.[/quote]
