Quote:We should do a study on the fair market value of women's sports and little attended men's sports such as golf and soccer.  Determine their fair market value and how much those student athletes should have to pay the school in order to be able to play their sport.  Because they are obviously losing their schools money.

Exactly, people forget that Golf gets scholarships too. Actually I am quite frankly in support of no scholarships, and lowering the cost of tuition for everyone. SA getting a free ride is rather annoying considering that they add nothing but entertainment to a University and many aren't even interested in the actual school part. But the schools make money off (well actually, they usually don't, most schools get most of their money from *surprise* students and research, and actually waste money on sports programs). Really all they 'gain' is prestige, so they want it.

 

A minor league sport system would be better, but we all know once somebody is in the money, they don't want to give it up. Yeah university's shouldn't have sports programs, we are just supplementing a bad system that is over costly and burdensome to the school financially, students who actually want to attend, and taxpayers. Let the Minor league develop and it would be handled much better.The school-sport association has gotten out of hand.
