[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, if you don't like college that stress sports and you think scholar athletes are idiots, why don't you just go to a different college?  And vice versa.  There are plenty of choices out there.  This thread is like arguments whether toilet paper should be hung with the end in the top or underneath.  Who the F cares?[/quote]

OP here- I actually love college sports. I love watching college football and basketball. I watch the college softball World Series every year, except this year I obviously won't be watching.  I went to a big flagship state university with a good football team. I still go attend games every couple of years with my kids. I just think it is ridiculous for colleges to be required to have sports barely anyone watches in person or on TV like golf, tennis, swimming, and rowing. Even college soccer at most schools both women and men's is poorly attended. If there are schools where it is popular then those colleges should keep those sports I just don't think schools should be forced to have all of these teams.[/quote]

I see, so you like the NCAA unpaid exploitation model.

Can we get rid of the painfully earnest theater productions too? Or middling output of nearly all creative writing programs? [/quote]
