BDad,

Great article....interesting philosophy. I am a little disappointed to see that my alma mater is joining a new conference, but they are doing so for a similar reason. Interesting to see the emphasis being place on weekend games in order to minimize time away from the classroom.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
