Mirror Mirror

The mirror shows the root of the problem in college athletics!

What happened to us?How do we let these games are played in higher education, where the main goal should be to teach young people to be such a killer, out of control influence our lives? In order to completely skew what we should be easily recognizable as the difference between good and evil?Make no mistake, we should have stopped. Long before a rabid fan said that the spread of the poison on some historic trees on the opponent's school. Or respected coach did not feel any need to tell his bosses that players have become a tattoo parlor in his personal car in cash. Or fraud of the booster of the keys to a major university and allowed to turn it into their personal playground.

 

Of course, we should have known that long before the break, our worst yet, if some of the very people we are entrusted to lead our children chose to look the other way but to enter three digits - 9-1-1 - when told that other children were raped by their very campus.No one is justifying the actions of individuals at the center of the tree poisoning Auburn, Ohio State tattoo scheme scandal Miami booster, and certainly not those associated with the horrific child abuse case at the University of Pennsylvania. Let's hope that those who engaged in misconduct or did not do enough to stop him get a quick and sure justice they deserve.But perhaps it would be a good time for all of us to pause in front of the mirror and think we've created a monster.

Yes, I'm telling you, my fellow journalists, who spend more time destroying game plan than to note that - and it is not - is the class. And you, of bloated talk show hosts, who better to shout into the microphone about who should be starting with the defender than to cry when the same children can not get a legal education. And you, the college presidents who are detained in the winning locker room after the game, like gushing fans who rely on football and basketball coaches, as they are the ones running our universities, and not vice versa.And you, the fans, who essentially feed the aforementioned monsters. Inexplicably, his worth as a human being is directly linked with the fate of his college sports. You are allowed to what is happening on Saturday cloud your view of life the other six days a week.

 We are all accomplices."The anomaly of American higher education is that we have a mass commercial entertainment, sports and entertainment, on our college campuses," Allen said bag, a professor of sports management and interim dean of the College of Business at the University of New Haven in Connecticut. "The concept of the 100,000-seat football stadium in the middle of the University of unheard of anywhere in the world."
