Val: Wally, do you think college sports have spun out of control? All the hype...the moeny...the scandals...and a lot of players who are just barely students...don't you agree? Wally: If I say yes, does that mean I have to turn off the game??

I have noticed this. Half the academic buildings at my college are either falling apart or unable to keep up with the ever-updating needs of the sciences and professional programs. meanwhile, the other day I was doing a project with one of my clubs at the sports complex, and I passed by the football lounge (that day, I learned there was a football lounge). I didn’t go inside, but I saw a computer lab in there.
Look, I get that American Football is a big moneymaker for colleges in the US, but… colleges are schools. Pamper the academic departments once in a while!
