This has bugged me for a long time and it starts in high schools. Athletics are always funded more and at the expense of other programs.

As for the Supreme court ruling allowing college athletes to make money- this is infuriating. Colleges give student athletes free tuition along with other perks. There should be a clause that if they make money from endorsements in college, they at least have to pay back their tuition.

Great piece. Most folks love sports, either playing or watching. That can’t be said for chemistry or composition. Universities should be promoting the latter, but they just can’t help themselves, now that they have turned into corporations.
