College level sports will allow you to get payed and the best players are gravitating to the Big Conferences with the best players. The Olympics, the epitome of amateur sports, are professionals now. Well, I could go on but you get the picture. Is a “sports bubble” being created? Are sports more important than education?

I don’t blame players, finely they get little money for making schools/districts richer.
Sports bubble going to break eventually when working class can’t afford to go.
Well, yes as long they win in football which is jackpot pays for all other sports In college. Just ask football coaches what they make compared to PhD. Professor.
Some colleges are switching conferences just to play football were the big bucks are with TV contracts.
Collage about collages making money it always has been. If student graduated with degree in field you can actually get job in now it’s big win. especially if got go for free Or government paid off student loans. After all it’s working stiffs that need to pay for higher education.
