Craziness

As much as I love college athletics, I am saddened by the following: " According to a report by the National Football Foundation, 33 U.S. colleges have introduced football programs since the start of the 2008 recession; 17 more programs are set to debut by 2015, and more than 20 other schools have formed exploratory committees to consider the possibility."  Colleges, especially small private colleges, are using college athletics to boost enrollment.  In so doing, college athletics comes to dominate and takes over the educational mission.

This quote is from an article in SI on the murder of a college football player at Tabor College, Brandon Brown.  It's well worth the read.  (thanks to Carol for the tip)
