I agree, that would be perfectly fine with me.

They do not represent the university now, and they have not represented the U for a long time now. These guys are not really students. Majoring in General Studies? Give me a break.

We can still call the Dayton minor league basketball team the University of Dayton Flyers. The U will just be the team owner.

It is totally unrealistic to expect these guys to be students. If you have ever played a university-sponsored sport in college, the time demands on the athletes are outrageous: games, travel, media interviews, community-outreach events, team practices, classes, studying, weight-lifting, running/conditioning, etc.

There is very little time off. Little time to socialize like a regular student. Little time to make any spending money working a job. The spending money part of the problem might have been solved a couple years ago when the true cost of attendance scholarship was introduced.
