[quote=Anonymous]Why don’t we talk about how large state universities recruit “student” athletes who are basically free agent hired guns and are exploited and tossed aside. Why don’t we talk about how messed up it is that coaches are the highest paid employees at many institutions purportedly devoted to education? Why don’t we talk about how backwards it is that so many students are drawn to big state schools for the “culture” of drinking and spectating from the stands and cheering for “their” team of students who basically are not involved in the life of the university at all. And how ridiculous it is to prioritize this kind of thing when picking a university to attend when the whole point is to get an education? Bottom line, why pick on SLACs. At least athletes in those schools are real students and their actual friends and classmates are in the stands. [/quote]
