I agree. The fact of the matter is that the purpose of collleges and universities is to educate people, not provide entertainment via sports. Maybe the NBA and NFL should fund sports programs if they want them instead of the public footing the bill.

Why should universities foot the bill to train up NFL and NBA players. Let them do what hockey and baseball do, establish farm teams and leagues and train up the players that way. Why should my education dollars go for luxury apartments for football players, especially when in many colleges and universities the regular dorm facilities are marginal to say the best.
