You've also got to know what those programs cost. Those huge stadiums and gyms don't come cheap. Do they actually make money or cost money?

And I keep getting stuck o the idea that universities are academic institutions. That they were brought into into existence to train the mind, not get brutes to knock down other brutes.

How about we separate the two functions? The NFL, AFL, NL, AL, etc. can finance the training grounds for their raw material and universities can build classrooms and labs. I think you'll even have a better chance at getting workers comp for those injuries. A company isn't exemp from that just because an injured janitor was still in training.

What, you think an accountant, doctor, or engineer doesn't understand the value of the institution that gave him his career?
