Ready to do away with almost all College Sports

Is that really true? Meaning that US higher ed institutions are the only ones in the world with organized sports? If so, that’s amazing, and I honestly didn’t know that.

I guess I need to get around more!

ETA: I did see in Wikipedia that Canada does too, but generally only up to the tuition and fees. Possibly the UK in limited instances. Athletic scholarship - Wikipedia . Still, something really interesting for sure.
