[QUOTE="TechPreacher, post: 469953, member: 2312"] Schools like Alabama have a football "program", similar to how Tech has an engineering program and Emory has a medical program. All three are elite in the programs they offer. Why can't Alabama (and others of their kind) just say that they do this? Drop the facade of "student athlete" and enroll kids into the football program. Other programs require class attendance and grades to graduate, but the "football program" requires film study, weightlifting, and practice. The other programs prepare students to be professionals in their chosen fields; "football programs" prepare players to play professional football. Let the "football programs" then break away into their own league, and let the rest of us play college football. [/QUOTE]
