About Title IX and school sports https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1365-66d1-6bbf-55a301651775

I can see some value in unwinding sports participation from schools and colleges / universities. But I also see some pitfalls.

You can see schoolchildren waiting at bus stops shortly after 06:00 and you can see them being dropped off as late as 17:00. If those kids are going to participate in sports, it will have to be on-campus and integrated into their school day.

That said, I think the NCAA and various athletic conferences have corrupted the colleges and universities with all the money that sports brings into their coffers. It is hard to make decisions that work in the best interests of the student-athletes when the institutions stand to make millions of dollars.

If we somehow abolish college athletics, what happens to all the students who were (or will be in the future) attending on sports scholarships? What kind of transition time would be adequate to allow independent minor leagues to spring up? What about facilities? The colleges have many millions or even billions of dollars invested in sports facilities. In many cases, the surrounding communities have little or no facilities. How do we go from facilities at college campuses to off-campus facilities in the locations where the teams form?
