I never want to hear major college athletes referred to as students again. At least not regular students, and sorry, “student athlete” doesn’t quite cut it.
Because as we’ve known, but see so clearly now in the midst of current circumstances, college sports, particularly football, are a vital revenue source for the system and universities. So, it’s a sham to pretend the participants within are getting more out of the college experience than they are delivering by being on the field.
Which has been made apparent through the clear push by the top conferences to make sure a football season happens in the midst of the pandemic.
