Ndsoftball dont forget that PSU thought they were special too. (And in no way am I trying to associate the two schools in any other way!)
I believe sherman1 hit the nail on the head when he said colleges are businesses. I agree totally.
I also would go one step further in saying that Ive always believed that athletes that have no real intentions of getting an education in college have no business participating in colleges athletics.
Maybe someone needs to open Basketweaving University so that the athletes that just want an inbetween step from high school to the pros can go play their sports without interfering with the higher education process...
(I'm thinking I should probably delete this before I hit post reply...)
No my friend hit the reply because I agree with you.... Big time college athletics are a business. Look at the revenue they bring in. But look at graduation rates of some of these schools for athletes. ND has top tier athletics and is at the top of the NCAA for graduating athletes.
