Paying college players what they are worth, might price football beyond the means of many universities. Can't have that. Must have circuses. The players themselves are expendable meat.

Trump says 'whole educational system' could go out of business without fixes to college sports

“The whole educational system is going to go out of business because of this,” Trump explained, when asked why he was devoting time to college sports with the war in Iran and other issues dominating the headlines.

During the meeting in the East Room — which included lawmakers, conference commissioners, the president of the NCAA and CEO of the U.S. Olympic team but none of the NCAA's 550,000 college athletes — Trump said, “I thought the system of scholarships was great.” He was harkening to the recently ended era in which players received little to nothing beyond financial aid.

Here's a thought. Have the universities forget about educating anyone. Just run the football and basketball programs, to entertain the mob. The "JCs" can send their spawn abroad for an education. The USian Proles, who now go to state universities for an education, can pick lettuce instead.

Exactly what Wharton did with Spankee.

Just run the football and basketball programs, to entertain the mob.

Spin them off and sell them to PE/VC to sucker the MAGA "buy ANYTHING for a loss" morons.

The USian Proles, who now go to state universities for an education, can pick lettuce instead.

They can stay home and pick the lint out of their navels instead. More profitable.

It's easy for me to come up with clapbacks sitting at home, and not risking livelihood or even prison time, but would luv to see some pushback on these asinine responses Trump gives.

For ex: hey genius, your Iran war is quite possibly leading the World into a global recession, possibly a global depression. The NIL issue
that college minor league sports is dealing with pales in comparison, get your head out of your ass and focus.

But that'll never happen.
