Should Pikeville College do away with football?

I agree. Many of the kids they bring up there every year want to play but not do the school work. They play their year and end up not being eligible to play the next year so they leave taking football money with them when it could be given to someone else who tries to succeed at both. A lot of the money goes to out of state kids for the program which is understandable because out of state tuition is rediculous. One coach in particular that is no longer with the progam always used to say, "Men you are here to be football players, not brainiacs." I disagree with that, its not called "Student-Athlete" for nothing. You should be held responsible for your grades as well as your actions on and off the field. You can't do one without the other and shouldn't be allowed to no matter how good of a player an individual may be.
