‘“There have long been concerns that football programs were really in charge at some major universities,” Hartle said.’

You remember the title of the Neil Postman book about postmodern America: Amusing Ourselves to Death. That’s the deal here. Now that Penn State has imploded, keep an eye on the University of Texas. With its gigantic program on its way to generating billions in profits, UT is bending over and letting football have its way, just the way Auburn did decades ago. It’s as if Texas Governor Rick Perry said I’m gonna shut down three university campuses: UT Austin, uh… UT Austin and … I can’t remember the other two.
