Let us raise the standards and reinforce the belief that sound minds make sound bodies. It has been alleged that the act of money under the table occurs to persuade talented athletes to attend particular institutions. We do not deny this is the case, nor do we believe this is not a problem, but to dismiss college sports is too drastic a measure to create any solution but hurt the athletes. Let s attack the coaches and tighten restrictions, crack down on the gray spots that lead to these injustices, not damage the athletes, by destroying the chance to follow their dreams. It is true that the possibility for academic detriment is evident, but to abolish college-sponsored sports is to hurt only the students, the athletes, not to encourage a better reform of structure.
Sports create opportunities for achievement, and healthy competition.
Sports provide doors for individuals to follow their dreams, and with the right set of rules and boundaries, sports can be a wonderful asset to any college setting From a financial, economic or psychological point of view sports are a goldmine for colleges. Not only do they provide advertising and publicity for schools, but they bring in a great deal of funding, more so than any other single event. Sports are crucial to colleges. In conclusion, we feel that keeping the status quo of college sports is the only reasonable option. Any change could only effect the athletes and the colleges in a negative way.
