I would say with far more seriousness that sports should have NEVER been a part of college admissions or scholarships in the first place.

If you wanna play, play. But that's not what you're there to do when you're in college.

I mean, yeah, the college admissions system is complicated and completely fucked up. But supplementing criteria that arguably aren't completely correlated with academic ability or preparedness, with other criteria that have absolutely no plausible correlation with academic ability or preparedness, never made any sense.
