I'm pretty upset at Americans and their worship of college athletics. Many seem to feel that colleges are there for their entertainment. The facility is berated for a losing season. We hear "So and so SUCKS" when the team is having a rough day, not the school. I like athletics. It's a wonderful display of God given talent.
But, sports is an extra curricular activity. The school isn't there for the sports. The sports is a great offspring of the school. Frankly, I would want my child to go to MIT rather than Oklahoma or Alabama, per say. I want the focus to be on education, not boosters, advertising and the coaches multi-million dollar salary. That money should go to the instructors and professors who actually perform a service for the young adult preparing to enter the real world. Americans need to make a reality check. What's worth more to a parent, their child or getting a very expensive risk for a team. A coach doesn't come w/ guarantees. He/she does keep the money, though.
Sports has just really gotten out of control in today's world!
