It's NOT really an integral part of the education at a college, it's an
extra curricular activity where the kids go to have fun and itpast time
to let it go.   Colleges should survive on their academic programs ad
from what I see they either need to get rid of FOOTBALL and concentrate
on academics or just start closing down the schools that have no QC and
just sell their diplomas to anyone.


Those colleges are worthless to to the NATION.  They're more like day
care for adult children who can't face the real world yet....
