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.
