Television and then cable television changed sports. Television has corrupted sports all the way down to LL.

My kids and I benefitted from colleges sports. But it’s become is really absurd. We’re a long way from 1852 when Harvard met Yale in crew.**

My great grandfather graduated from Bowdoin (now a NESCAC) in 1892. He played football, baseball and ran indoor track. I found a letter about the football season. It told him when he returned to college in two weeks they had a game the following weekend. To get in shape run a mile per day and quit smoking. If you can’t quit smoking at least cut back.

** Recognized as the first official and recorded intercollegiate athletic competition
