"“The trouble with football,” Hutchins, a philosopher, declared to the press in 1938, “is the money that is in it.” Hutchins went on to write in the Saturday Evening Post, “Athleticism is not athletics or physical education, but sports promotion, and it is carried on for the monetary profit of the colleges through the entertainment of the public.”

Hutchins was the University of Chicago president who killed it's football program.

Interesting perspective.  Worth the time in my opinion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/20...alignment/
