It's not the big two sports that suffer. It's all the other men's sports. A lot of schools just cut everything but football and basketball on the men's side. Sure, those are other sports aren't glamorous, aren't tickets to stardom, etc... but why shouldn't a college have a golf, fencing, lacrosse, or even a baseball team? Who wants to go to college and do something they might enjoy?
But on the other hand... women should have their sports programs too. So there is no solution. The laws stink, the absence of a law would stink... it all stinks.
And yes... I'm off topic. But it's the discussions inside the discussions that I enjoy reading on/. anyway...
Saskatchewan? How do you ride your bike during the eleven months of winter?
(Yes, I was being a smartass, but... it's still a legitimate question. Any place that has a good, honest winter means you can't ride a bike for a third of the year).
> Artists make art because that's what they do. > It has nothing to do with profit to them.
Yes, that's true... artists make art because they have to. But they still need to be compensated. Because if artists all have to work at the giant megacorp of Smith, Johnson, Rockerfeller, and Taft, all day every day, they won't have any energy or soul left to work on their art.
In a perfect world, we should highly compensate: (1) Artists (2) Teachers
Instead, we highly compensate: (1) Athletes (2) CEOs

Actually, it was Isaac Asimov...
I'm sorry, but most people are not willing to part with physical objects just yet.
They can pry "Highway 61 Revisited" out of my cold, dead hands....
Jackie Robinson already took it! Call Branch Rickey I'm sure he'll sell it to you.
