The NY Times has an article today about professor William Dowling, who as I  
recall, was always vociferously against big-time college athletics as a member 
 of the Rutgers faculty.  Dowling says,  
“If you were giving the scholarship to an intellectually brilliant kid who  
happens to play a sport, that’s fine,” he said. “But they give it to a  
functional illiterate who can’t read a cereal box, and then make him spend 50  hours 
a week on physical skills. That’s not opportunity. If you want to give  
financial help to minorities, go find the ones who are at the library after  school.
” 
Say, wouldn't that be great?  They could offer tuition repayment based  on 
how many hours you spent in the library.  I could have made a living off  that.
