That’s what they always do. Cut the very things proven to improve academic performance. But cut sports? “Over my dead body! My kid’s gonna get an athletic scholarship!” Fools. Better to try for an academic scholarship. It’s more likely and more stable. IF you get an athletic scholarship, you’re always one bad injury from losing it. And the demands on your time mean you have little time to actually study – which is what you go to college for!
