[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This to me is it. It is bizarre -- the elevation of athletics over any other activity connected to the university community (arts, debate, chess, science, what have you). It is uniquely American. [/quote] They don't care about sports. The sports are used to backdoor rich kids and URMs, netting donations and promoting the diversity line. And the crap colleges most student-athletes end up at only have the doors open because they prey on saps, letting their kid "play at the next level." Parents and bratty student-athletes can't admit all of the sports obsession ends after 12th grade, so they go to some laughing stock in the middle on nowhere to keep the sports dream alive. It's actually sad.[/quote]
