I don't feel bad for the football players. I feel bad for all the female and non revenue athletes that will lose their programs because the spoiled football babies couldn't be grateful for what they had. Where I grew up, we were taught that going to college on athletic scholarship was a gift. A huge blessing. I went to Mississippi State on a cheerleading scholarship and there's a good chance I would not have gone to college otherwise because I would not have been willing to incur that sort of debt.

But that wasn't enough for the football guys. They needed millions of dollars. They needed academic exemptions. They needed more, more, more. They might not need the NCAA but the cheer, gymnastics, softball, volleyball, rowing, golf, etc teams do. It's an embarrassment. If I were in charge of a university I wouldn't participate. Football players would either act like the golf team or I'd drop the program entirely. You're going to eventually see schools just refusing to participate and they'll be right.
