I follow various combat sports and the rock climbing world. I wouldn't mind a sports forum on here, considering there is one for gaming.

Okay, so the questions are do you support the idea of a sports forum, and can it be created here?
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens "I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations". - Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) "In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! " - Dr. Donald Prothero 
If such a forum gets enough support it can be easily created.
Hockey and baseball.... although I generally think that sports is vastly overrated in society in general.
College football. But then the SEC is is 9 for 15 including the last 7 in a row, Alabama the state has 4 in a row and Alabama the school is 3 for the last 4 in BCS championship games.
Roll Tide!

Too bad colleges are supposed to educate students instead of play football.
http://stanford.scout.com/2/1066657.html One cannot help but wonder what even the ones who graduate are majoring in? Phys Ed? Basket-weaving? Penn State was stripped of some 20 football "scholarships" in the aftermath of the Paterno fiasco. That was 20 out of 80. I wonder how many scholarships were given out in the Physics Department?

I've maintained for years that programs should drop the charade and allow athletes to opt out of degree requirements by transferring their academic scholarship to someone who wants to learn. Another option would be for the NBA and NFL to pay for their own development leagues much like MLB and NHL. Not sure if you've seen this. Lengthy, but revealing.

Thank you. That looks interesting. I'll make time to read it later.
