Ah.....you think lol.
Rootcanal....
There hasn't been a thing that changed about CFB.
ESPN and others are just capitalizing off the passion of college football. People have a sense of connection to their university or their state.
More than that CFB has been a televised event for over 50 years.
This isn't anything new.
Regarding CFB being an apprenticeship to the NFL...
It is. Why do you think the players play
So they can become a professional.
There is a sense of educating young athletes. Not just in football but in life.
Just like someone who attends WVU to become an engineer
Make them have the same qualifications as every other student...they should be able to hold their own in a classroom.
Someone who attends WVU to be an engineer takes real classes....no fake classes, no fake majors.
Those fake classes make up a huge percentage of the graduating class every year
They aren't just there for athletes.
College students who want a degree in one of the Humanities really doesn't have much to do with football
Wrong...
Don't even try to lump athletes into humanity majors. Humanity majors take real college courses, not fake classes.
Darth, agree with you 100%. However, the view you and I share could be construed by others as being "racist".
The problem is, they are being held to the same standards. The bar has just been significantly lowered. Now, every school has that major or majors that anyone with half a brain can pass. At WVU, that is athletic coaching education whereby students must grapple with such quandaries as being able to answer how long a football field is, how many points is a touchdown worth, and, for the final, how to construct a game that involves a large parachute. At other schools, it may be Travel Industry Management or some such.
The schools have to do this. This just doesn't apply to athletes. Kids today can't form a basic sentence that is grammatically correct. You can forget about constructing a paragraph. All they know how to do is copy and paste other people's pre-thought thoughts. They lack imagination and initiative.
Raising the bar for everyone would negate college football as we know it. Heck, it would negate the number of colleges as we know it. They'd likely go out of business for lack of supply.
Please inform me of these fake classes that football players are taking.
Majority of them are majoring in social sciences and humanities.
Where is a list of their majors?
Sadly, it just isn't athletes to which this applies.
Roughly 60% of ALL incoming freshmen require a remedial class of some type. The bar has been lowered for years, and keeps being lowered, in order just to stay in business.
Not that I can find.
Yeah well it is a lot worse for athletes.
Its all astro-turf.
I am in the belief that a college degree is only worth what you make out of it.
Doesn't matter what major it is you have to imply what you learn to life.
No matter what it is in.
I dont give a shit what you believe.
Bring in athletes who dont belong in school, give them fake courses...then watch them drop out, transfer, ect.
....then find the few that do well and market the hell out of them.
Problem right there.
You are stuck with a narrative regardless.
So college athletics do help...
Give some who want to use it the chance to earn an education.
Thanks for playing.
You proved why college athletics is important
I dont like you and your opinion means dog shit to me.
Because I am much smarter than you.
Makes you feel weak. But that is a personal issue.
No...it is a fraud.
It just happens to be a fraud you find acceptable.
If you were so smart, you wouldnt need to lie about yourself as much as you do.
You have been proven wrong numerous times.
Still think we won't have a CFB season
We can argue about this all day...
You have already said college athletics give people a chance to attend school.
So therefore it gives people the chance to improve their life.
It is on them. You can blow it off and not take it seriously or you can make the most of it.
That seems like a rationalization that could only be made from a top (bottom) level jock-sniffer.
