Of course. Of course.

He doesn't have to say it. It's been said so many times in the past. It's so obvious, he doesn't have to say it. He's hitch-hiking on all that.

Everyone knows the rest of the lyrics to the song.

If I were to sing, "Oh, Say can you see ... ". I'm pretty sure most would say to themselves, "by the dawn's early light".

When he says the line between college and entertainment is being erased are you suggesting he doesn't know what the follow on words to that are?

Do you really think he would next say, "And that's the good news".

No, the rest of that song is about colleges prostituting their ideals to remain competitive in big time sports.

Of course, I actually agree with that. It reminds me of the joke about the dumpy little guy who asks a sophisticated woman at a party if she would sleep with him for $1M.

She says, "For a Million dollars? Sure."

He then asks, "Well, what about $50?

She responds, "$50? Of course not. What do you think I am?

He responds by telling her, "We have already determined what you are. Now we are just haggling over the price."

The universities are so on the hook for this money from big time sports they'll do just about anything. Erasing the line between the university and entertainment? Hell, that's a misdemeanor compared to what we have seen recently at UNC, at Penn State, at Louisville, at etc., etc, etc.
