Maybe the kids on athletic scholarships might actually learn something while at university and decide what to do with their lives.[/quote]
Actually it’s a huge disservice IMO.
IMO a university should exist for the purpose of true higher learning and research.
Sports and football should be secondary, and yet these schools focus and market almost soley on football and to a lesser extent other sports.
Most of these athletes would be much better served learning trades, since only a very small few will play pro sports with many graduating with fake degrees in worthlessness.
