Or is that option available only for professional sports endeavors?

LUVBB,
Is it your intention to try and support your position by bringing up ludicrous examples? Are singers now recruited to major universities and held up as examples or icons for the institutions? How many singers graduate college and make lasting impressions on millions of people?

I outlined as best I could the policy and reasoning for it. Your question is redundant in nature, because the answer to it has already been explained. I can't understand why you would choose to ignore it.
