[QUOTE="bucknellbison31, post: 1008500, member: 6654"] Some other people touched on this but I just want to reiterate: college football and basketball have not been about academics for as long as there has been significant money involved. If you don't want to watch college athletics because the emphasis on academics has been lost, then that is totally valid; but don't act as though it's a recent development. Academics haven't mattered in P5 football or basketball for years except for just a few schools (Tech, Stanford, Vandy, N'Western, etc.). And guess what: academics still matter at those places! Our athletes at Tech still have to go to class and still have to pass. Do academics matter at, say, Alabama? No, but they never did. So again, if you have issues with the way things are, and that's pushing you away, fine; but it's been that way, and don't pretend otherwise. [/QUOTE]
