I get you but frats are not a great comparison considering they don't suck funding out of schools in exchange for .... entertainment you have to pay a second time for.

It might taste bad for you but how about the students in underfunded programs due to the leeching of athletics? They paid to go to a place of learning and there are only so many seats, which are being reduced to fund.... a useless activity. Before you jump on the well rounded individual thing, intramural sports are what most students would have access to and do not require the massive amount of spending that collegiate sports require so it's not a benefit for the rest of the student population. Why should they be required to hold their tongue because it gives you a bad taste?
