I was just bitching to my buddy about this yesterday. What the FUCK is the point of college? What do these sports have to do with it?
Its all because instead of college football being a fun time and something to do, it became corporatized and tied in with professional football. College hasn't been about higher learning for a long time now.

To be clear, I think this all only really applies to bigger schools that have big sports programs. There are plenty of colleges and universities out there that are primarily about academics and whose athletics programs are about giving students opportunities for exercise, recreation, and growth rather than being focused on selling tickets and merch.

You are projecting.
Like everything else, college is what you yourself decide it to be.
You can play sports, you can drink 24/7, or you can study hard.
