If some wealthy alumnus wants to donate a weight room, charter a jet for the team, pay kids money under-the-table or even construct a 17,000 seat arena, I really wouldn't complain. But under NO circumstances should a few sports fanatics be allowed to hijack the mission of a state university.
No more athletic scholarships. No compromised admission standards. No ridiculous basketweaving majors. No special privileges for jocks. No more athletic departments with $1M hoops coaches, $450K football coaches, $285K AD's, $125K assistants, etc.
Division 1 does NOT pay for itself. You sports nuts mindlessly repeat the BIG LIE disseminated by sports marketers.
