But how can it be done if it were to happen? While increasing athletic scholoarships can be influential, if that larger refund check goes to that student, the places where they spend their money wouldnt prove to be a sound investment in the long run future. As the commercial says, there are thousands of college athletes that will go pro in something other than sports.

I think a good investment would be in the community. Things like more advanced libraries, along with propaganda that promotes reading being powerful and influential; there should be investment in the parks and recreation centers. There shouldnt be any more investment in the infrastructure of the college because these powerhouses are already state of the art facilities. Coaches shouldnt get the kind of salaries they get; this phenomenon is similar to the amount of money rookies get when they sign those mega, wal mart-esque contracts, along with the salaries of the athletic directors.

This situation can be solved amicably, and although it will be a long time from now, it can happen. Peace and love.
