I've been all over the map on college athletics, landing on being basically indifferent to them.
One thing I've wondered about is why the sports can't just be major fields of study. They occupy a ton of the students' time and feed directly into an extremely lucrative profession.
That would at least eliminate many of the perverse incentives and corruption around pretending most of these athletes are actually taking normal courses and degrees.
Yeah that is true
College sports are okay I used to be big fan of college football and basketball but as I aged I don’t watch as much as I found it hard to be critical of young adults versus paid professionals
I just don't like what it does / what it signals about college culture and society more generally
Yes I am a curmudgeon
Yeah I can see that especially for the major 4 sports.
I don't have that much to say because I kinda hate college sports to begin with. Might be one of my most unpopular opinions I dunno
