...main trouble with football is that it has yielded to the spirit of commercialism. It is the most dramatic of sports, and the box office has capialized its opportunities. All the major evils against which college authorities complain in football--over-training, the tendency to develop brawn at the expese of brain, in short, athleticism at its worst--are the direct result of introducing the commercial spirit into the colleges, where it has no proper place. It is the commercial spirit that needs to be attacked, not football itself Oust commercialism and save football for its many beneficial qualities--this...
