The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Paying college players what they are worth, might price football beyond the means of many universities. Can't have that. Must have circuses. The players themselves are expendable meat.

Trump says 'whole educational system' could go out of business without fixes to college sports

“The whole educational system is going to go out of business because of this,” Trump explained, when asked why he was devoting time to college sports with the war in Iran and other issues dominating the headlines.

During the meeting in the East Room — which included lawmakers, conference commissioners, the president of the NCAA and CEO of the U.S. Olympic team but none of the NCAA's 550,000 college athletes — Trump said, “I thought the system of scholarships was great.” He was harkening to the recently ended era in which players received little to nothing beyond financial aid.

Here's a thought. Have the universities forget about educating anyone. Just run the football and basketball programs, to entertain the mob. The "JCs" can send their spawn abroad for an education. The USian Proles, who now go to state universities for an education, can pick lettuce instead.
