    Сollege athletes are just paid players, not students and drop the whole sham.
    I'd think that the primary focus of scholarship athletes should be scholastic achievement and not athletic achievement. Seems that the university sports systems have strayed from that fundamental

    The news has been replete with stories of how schools (may high schools), colleges and communities have bent over backwards to protect and coddle their sports teams, star players and coaches, to the point of illegality and immoral conduct. Penn State is a glaring example of that. I'm all in favor of dropping the idea of dropping all academic sports teams in favor of a new league within the age group of college players, sans any pretense of education.
