[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 814110, member: 1640"] Schools are not simply basing their decisions on race, culture or economics. Those are very real factors for consideration but they are not the reason. The reason has more to do with the purpose of education and enhanced pedagogy. So the school makes decisions that are to achieve a higher purpose. The higher purpose in college football would be to preserve competition for the sake of the sport. In the Greek ideal of sports, beauty is achieved. Beauty is one measurement of the ideal or truth. College adopted athletics originally as part of this larger purpose of the pursuit of truth. In the Greek ideal, adopted by the academy, body and mind work together toward the ideal. If the game of football is rigged because only the best athletes are allowed to play at a few specific schools, thus eliminating competition, there is no longer any truth in the pursuit and, technically, it is no longer part of the academy. I have pulled for Tech all of my life because, rightly or wrongly, it felt like a community that could understand the higher purpose of sport and which disdained the rigged and phony contest which no longer advances truth.
