It is time for colleges to do away with scholarships for these student/athletes like division 3. Let Football and basketball start their own minor leagues like hockey and baseball instead of using academia as their minor leagues. If you want to play ball in college, pay your own way or earn an academic scholarship like everyone else. Cut the coaches salaries to those of a professor and use the money for all students to lower tuition.

Pay them...but then make them responsible for paying their own tuition, and living expenses. Maybe they will learn that life has costs.

There is one problem with all this and its a big one. TITLE IX of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Pay them? ********. Make them earn their way in life...don't fxxxing reward their behavior. Time to manup America and toss the trash.

Kill all sports. If they want one they can go the route of having their own Intramural Sports Teams.

It's all coming back to bite these universities in the *** because they got so greedy with all the TV money and coaches 10 million dollar contracts. They made their beds they can lay down in their filthy sheets and watch it all go up in smoke.

How does Title IX affect getting rid of sports? If there are none, then there is no issue.

There are 85 football scholarships. There MUST be 85 female scholarships in other sports.

How much money does female athletic sports bring in? I can tell you it's not enough to pay a single coach.

I say get rid of the free ride for all sports.
