Or try to figure out SOME way to make these
sports what they’re supposed to be: small-
time affairs which really are played by coll-
ege students in their spare time(instead of what we have now: huge monstrosities,
belching $, played by semi-professional mer-
canaries who, from time to time, may wan-
der into a class or two). (OK, I’m exagg-
erating- but I would still say that this des-
cription is more true than false). I know that
most likely this is ASB- if anything seems in-
evitable it’s how college basketball & foot-
ball developed- but my fellow posters, do what you can!

P.S. I’m NOT someone who hates sports!
On the contrary- I LOVE college BB & FB.
I prefer them(especially the former)to their
professional counterparts. I’m a dyed-in-the
-wool fan of BB & FB @ UC Berkeley, my
alma mater(I’d just about DIE to see Cal actually play in the Rose Bowl!!) But intell-
ectually it seems more & more apparent(if painful)to me that there is simply no just-
infication for what college sports have be-
come(there is just so much wrong with it, so
many abuses) *Sigh*
