<p>Grcxx3: You said there are a “Variety of reasons” not to get rid of or at least the suspension of the football program. What are these reasons?</p>
<p>After being at the center of the most horrific scandals in US Sports history, a lot of people question why a one-year suspension is not in order. To recoil from suggestions like that indicate that Div I football is far too important on campus. That something like this could go on for decades, and that the program was too big and important to the school for anyone to question anything about it indicates a structural problem at the least. </p>
<p>It it not just the individuals involved that caused this scandal, but the mindset regarding the exalted status on campus of the program. A one year hiatus on the football where a considered examination of the relationship between the athletic programs and the campus would be the healthiest thing for all concerned</p>
