Compare the proportion of MLB players that came from the university system, and the proportion of NFL players that did. Most MLB players come from minor leagues operating independantly from the university system.

I'm not suggesting that universities ban sports clubs. I object to university systems become the primary feeder for corporate professional leagues. American Football and Basketball do it. Baseball and normal Football do not.

You can object to sports feeding corporate. But university feed corporations in every area.

I object to tuition going up 8% a year for the last 3 decades That's a much bigger problem even though it's sort of topic to the original article.

It would be so much easier if they just called American Football "handegg".
