Which would be fine if we didn't live in a country where millions of kids with no football skills whatever are compelled to go into hock until they're fifty to get a college education. Spend all the money you want on sports, but don't dress it up in an academic gown and pretend you're serving the purpose of what a university is supposed to be. Admit that it's nothing more than a minor league development program for the NFL, let the NFL fund it the way major league baseball subsidizes the minor leagues, and divorce it completely from the education system.
