Disgusting. Repulsive. You know, "offensive." It would be nice if people were less pedantic about the exact word choice and focused on the concept of the argument being made here.
It's "disgusting" to me that college sports has become a professional athletics arms race where there is a fully open competition for the greatest talent by escalating salaries. I'm a capitalist all the way, 100%, with one exception: sports. I think the concept of sports competition is greatest served as entertainment when the playing field is as level as possible; for example, salary caps (and floors). When it comes to college sports, I'm not long for this form of entertainment if this is the direction it's going.
