Seriously this is farcical
Now do churches.

I was coming to say this exact thing!
D1 college athletics is farcical. If I were head of NCAA, I would shut it all down and start from scratch.

Just got home this afternoon from my alumni game. Had a great pub night with the coaches and all, but man is the NCAA recruitment a shitshow right now. Got some good insights into the current state of it, at least from a sport where it’s not likely to generate a lot of NIL coin and at a school where there are no athletic scholarships for most sports. Also in a league that won’t allow the fifth year to be completed at the school if you’ve already done four, but some of those schools have graduate programs.
Reclassing, JUCO give back year, NIL, transfer window, non-uniform rules within leagues (smaller issue perhaps)…the NCAA has thrown a lot into the pot in a very short amount of time.
Let me guess you don’t take your hat off in church either
I don’t go to church.
That being said, there are certain cultures and religious where covering one’s head is a sign of humility and modesty.
Isn’t that weird? In some situations head coverings are modest, whereas in others not covering is modest…weird.
You still haven’t found the “why” a hat is unacceptable other than “well bcuz”
I don’t think this is farcical at all. It’s about time that these $100+ million dollars per year sports programs just act like a professional sports organization rather than the current farce of pretending they’re in the business of educating students.
The schools who actually do want to educate students can fit into a different niche - they’re almost certainly already not playing against Kentucky in the big money sports now anyway.
So you agree kill the tax exemption
I’d kill the tax exemptions specifically for those big sports dollars, yes. That’s an entertainment industry purely out to make as much money as possible. The education part of it is a total farce at that level.
To kill tax exemptions across the board like Trump wants, which includes competitive NIH research dollars and other super useful programs, no.
Amen.
I’d be in favor of divorcing elite sport from Unversities. Should be managed by private clubs.
Univeristy sport should be nothing more than club.
Make it like tax brackets. Set the line at different dollar amounts and for different “industry.”
As you said there’s Entertainment which is quite different than Research. Shouldn’t be hard to figure something out that supports what said above: I’m with you there.
