    Yeah universities should be about academics. Not sports. In fact, Universities, in my opinion, should just be banned from HAVING sports teams. Do that shit outside of school lmao. You shouldn’t be getting ACADEMIC scholarships because you can… “throw ball good”.

    This would be far more convincing coming from someone that isn’t an evangelical religious nutjob teaching at a school with barely enough students to field an American football team (yes I know it’s Australia) much less be competitive in any major sports.

    Controversial thesis: if you teach creationism in college as a factual accounting of history, then it’s not a university. It’s a cult with a side hustle in tertiary education.
