Honestly, non-revenue sports, that don?t provide ?their own way? to academic institutions, should not obtain scholarships. Like those of us less academically gifted. If hey want to continue to play sports, then pay your way u less you have the grades. Male or female.

These are academic institutions.

Now. I?m not in agreement with the above, but the rabbit hole is very deep.

That will be the only way to truly take care of it. Pull scholarships for all sports and have it become truly amateur again. Allow all major league sports to draft straight out of high school.

What did Greg Byrne say when asked about improvements to the old Dudy Noble? he would say, got a stick of dynamite. B/c that is the only solution to the upcoming problems in college sports. Blow it up and start over with modern rules and structures.

Just like our economy, there is a major correction coming and it ain't going to be pretty for a lot of schools. SEC will survive somehow but it will not be good for a lot of schools. I don't see how title 9 survives.

Do you mean economy or housing market? I know they go hand in hand. I see a BIG correction in the housing market coming about 6-12 months out. The economy?I don?t know. Maybe the stock market but to me the economy and stock market are two separate beasts.

Yep. The stock market is definitely artificially inflated right now and people are trying to say the economy is booming because of it. Negative ghost rider. High housing, fuel, and food prices hurt the poorest 2/5 of the population.

I see the economy as the real business of our country, the stock market is the emotional state of the economy. The stock market has been long overdue but the economy is not heading in a good direction at all - inflation and the fed arbitrarily keeping the interest rates low with inflation is not a good combination. Add in the gov checks, businesses can't hire workers, higher taxes on those working and overspending by gov and we are in big trouble.

Our gov just reflects the people in our culture. No one wants to be responsible and just charge it regardless if they can pay for it.

I only say that because the people electing the gov. I know there are a large % that do not approve of what has gone on. I work with a lot of ill informed people who vote these idiots in to run us off the tracks. Also know most people get in a personal spending deficeit just like the feds.

yep, I don't worship a party or politican, just choose between the lesser of the two evils.

I think people need to think about how they can start enjoying the big ride off the cliff instead of scrubbing their shoe soles in futile attemp to halt this train.
