People can bemoan the politics of the faculty all they want, but frankly I think that turning college athletics into a professional enterprise is the real culprit for much of the downfall in higher education.

I have
strongly felt the same, all the way back to jr. High school when I first learned how important sports were to so many of our colleges and universities.
I think college athletics as a professional enterprise should be abolished from our institutions of higher education.
Can this be "discussed"...or is that like asking to "discuss" gun control?
