College sports

Thoughts on improving college sports.
  • Get rid of all athletic scholarships.
  • Re-conceive scholarships as athletic investments. The college gets a % of the future professional's first year earnings. A kind of finder's fee.
  • Charge the professional franchises for the privilege of running their farm teams on university property.
  • Pay coaches less than academic professors.
  • Redefine conferences based on geography to limit travel. With no scholarships, large schools and small schools will be more closely matched in sports. The intramural model.

What a fantasy.
