Right out the door. No pro sports = no high school recruits needed = no funding needed to support high school sports.
Has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation of this country, and has nothing to do with my post. I didn't play sports in college. I WORKED in college. Two part-time jobs, plus playing music in the subways for tips.
And if you have everyone learning all those things in college, who will be learning how to be doctors, dentists, nurses, and lawyers, scientists, researchers, and teachers? Who will be learning how to make clothing, and decorate homes, and create artwork and poetry? Who will learn the languages necessary to communicate with people in other countries when they go to do business deals on behalf of their corporation?
Do you want everyone to be a worker bee, with no one providing the sciences and "humanities" that make us human, and not just drones?

Reading comprehension is important, reread my post and you will see I indicated the skillset I mentioned along with STEM should be provided in high school not college and if sports are eliminated, that leaves lots of money and time for the important things. In four years of high school, many of the skills I mentioned can be taught without huge time allowances along with other classes.
I could rephrase my answer as to you want everyone to be educated drones with no life skills for their personal welfare. Heaven forbid anyone should get dirt under their nails..
