Would it be better for the image of colleges and universities

if these huge athletic programs spun out on their own and given their own tax IDs? The various athletic programs would then have the freedom to become affiliated with the various professional leagues or decide to form their own leagues. The university/college can still remain affiliated with the athletic program as its primary sponsor. For example the University of Northampton is the primary sponsor of Northampton Town FC.

The athletes do have a good deal, but it's limited. -- reestuart 01/13/2016 09:10AM

Cost of attendance has been added, so they've gotten something more. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 01/13/2016 1:39PM

I don't think so. I think the 'image' of sports contributing $10 million -- Late 80s Hokie 01/12/2016 4:34PM
