I think we've all long felt that smaller schools were going to be the most hurt by turning collegiate sports into the minor leagues. But Kirby Smart had some strong words about it.
"I just want to be able to have a freshman come in and not make more than a senior and I'd like for other sports to be able to still survive," Smart continued. "You know, we're on the brink of probably one to two years away from a lot of schools cutting sports"
That's a pretty bold prediction with 1-2 years....

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Re: Schools Cutting Sports?
This has been my issue the whole time. Kids who use college athletics to pay for school. My kid is one of them. Her sport hasn't been canned yet, but it is a non revenue sport so it is likely to be high on the chopping block.
