    Because they’re supposed to be students first and athletes second.

    Really, colleges should just not be allowed to have such massive sports programs. Do pro leagues not allow players at 18?

      I see what you’re saying, BUT this is a business outside of the university, they give no money back to the university. At least that’s how UW works. So they’re not students first, they’re employees “interns” for the football team first with an education as a perk.
