The amount of money in college sports is absurd.


It’s supposed to be amateur athletes. It has turned into an arms race with colleges spending more and more to keep up with the competition. Donors are pouring millions of dollars into sports, what a waste of philanthropy.
I’m not naive enough to think we will ever turn back the clock, but paying student athletes puts an end to any notion that they are amateurs and representatives of their schools.
