The University Of Louisville Is Everything That's Wrong With College Basketball | ThinkProgress

The University Of Louisville Is Everything That's Wrong With College Basketball | ThinkProgress:

"Major college sports operate in a perverse system that generates billions of dollars a year off the backs of free labor, and both Kentucky and Louisville are willing participants. But if no basketball program does a better job of making the system look ridiculous than Kentucky, perhaps no basketball program is right now doing a better job of epitomizing the lies on which that system is built than Louisville."

I have yet to see anyone discuss the most simple and quickest "fix" for college sports: GET RID OF SPORTS SCHOLARSHIPS. Here's a switch: let's turn colleges into institutions of learning!

But what about the great jocks? Don't worry, they'll be taken care of by the pro teams that should be taking care of them in the first place. Right now pro teams love the free farm system handed them by colleges and universities.
