I agree, but still enjoy the football. 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. "The Shame of College Sports".
