Black Sports : NCAA SICKENING

[Radical Faith]

The real issue

The NCAA pockets big bucks from atheletics especially the major two. The real issue here is why does one go to college in the first place. See almost no says "I want to go to college to become smarter or to become enlightened". From the time we are young our parents tell us to get good grades so we can go to college and get a good job so we can make a lot of money. So this is what college is about. College is a vehicle to obtain more money in life. So what wrong with this picture? Our philosophy in going to college just makes us a high priced slave to corporate America, useless you earn a degree in law or medicine. Doesn't anyone see what's wrong with this picture? Our thinking needs to be revamped before the system can be overhauled....

couldnt agree more, perhaps colleges should offer a sports major. many do such as sports mangement, and broadcast, business ect. bottom line parents should teach their kids that college must be used as a tool for ownership , not slaveship. tis the only way in this day and age.

I agree that there should be a higher academic standard for athletes at all universities. Seems to me that so many get away with things just because they are athletes. What has to be realized is that only a very very small percentage of college athletes actually make a living off the sport.

Are there any HBCU's on the West Coast?
Cause I was thinking of playing for Lorenzo Romar at U-Dub but if there's any black colleges on the West Coast I could probably change my mind.
