Why I Hate College Sports
This sums it up nicely.
http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2009/03/is-ncaa-evil.htmlThe money should flow into the school and go to the things the school is DESIGNED TO DO. Foster research, educate the student body, provide scientific benefit flow to the community. Instead... it's a racket where a select few rake off the lion's share of the money and even the privileged athletes involved seldom come out of it ahead for their effort. No matter the four years they may be heroes astride the campus, in the final analysis 3/4 of of them are undereducated, useless failures. Thanks for the memories? Just get rid of it all.
