[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 191549, member: 2175"] Good get but it sounds a bit overwrought to me. Not to minimize what just happened, but I am not sure it can be extrapolated into the future when the goals will be less altruistic and more selfish: pay for play and such. A football team in most universities, including the factories, would in my opinion find itself cut off from any support from the student body at large who have their own problems just making tuition and such in an increasingly hostile public environment -- today's pols just don't care much about education and aren't going to fund it -- and as much as they like sports, have bigger fish to fry. Regardless it is going to be interesting for sure. (And I am not sure Pinkett acted from unselfish motives in backing the strike. Had he opposed it he would have had no football team to coach.)
