"Why should the federal government subsidize the athletic activities of educational institutions when that subsidy is being used to help pay for escalating coaches' salaries, costly chartered travel and state of the art athletic facilities?"
- Bill Thomas
I chose this quote because it shows his perspective on the situation, and how he does not think the federal government should subsidize athletic activities for universities if they are just going to use it on not useful things; I agree with him.
This article was about how college sports are now closely resembling professional sports with all the money that is spent and how they use it. Also, how universities are doing every thing to gain money. For example, trying to add another game and getting more marketing deals with tv.
