Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4307584, member: 3609"] I totally disagree with what you've posted, especially the highlighted portion. The players won't have degrees, whereas they already have those worthless ones you decried now. Two top Mexican soccer teams, the Pumas and the Tigres, are owned by the National Universities in Mexico City and Nuevo Laredo, respectively. They are the franchise owners just like Mark Cuban is the franchise owner of the Mavericks or the Steinbrenner family is the franchise owner of the Yankees. No one thinks any less of them because they own soccer teams. Students in Mexico still strive to go to the University in Mexico City. To them, it's like Harvard owning the Red Sox. It will be the same way with the "no class required" teams. The schools will be franchise owners. I seriously doubt anyone will think less of Southern Cal or Michigan because they own teams. [/QUOTE]
