I still don’t see how colleges won’t be able to still keep doing it with.holistic admissions .  The whole process is such a random crapshoot anyway,  [/quote]

Maybe sports really shouldn't be that important to colleges.  Much better things to spend the money on. [/quote]

It's customer-driven, and you don't get to decide where I should spend my money.[/quote]

what customer?  if they want to be business, they should pay taxes like businesses and don't get any State/Federal supports[/quote]

This is a great idea. Make colleges pay taxes on their property and their endowments.[/quote]

and profit from the sports[/quote]

NEWS | @SEC announces $777.8 million of total revenue, divided among its 14 universities for 2020-21 fiscal year (ending Aug 31, 2021). The distribution, excluding bowl revenue retained by schools for bowl expenses, averaged slightly over $54.6 million per school.[/quote]
