    And people will go to a school because they’re fans of the football team, or send their kids there because they’re fans of the team. To act like the sports programs do nothing to help the university, or their athletes is disingenuous

      Maybe that shouldn’t be why someone chooses to go to a university. Maybe their academics and their areas of expertise should be why. It’s supposed to prepare you for a career, not give you a convenient way to watch your favorite team.
