No. YOU, me, and the rest of this forum perseveres. America perseveres. You ever take a step back and realize that we’re already the haves in all of this? But for the have nots in this global system, it’s starvation, suffering, rap3, looting, death? In a less consequential system of college athletics that isn’t the case and the worst thing that might happen is that athletic programs need to shut down. But regarding life and the world in general, millions don’t persevere and it costs them their life. Until it costs you one of your family members or your own livelihood, you’ll never understand what it is to be a have not in the world, if you think we persevere. This species may continue on but that certainly doesn’t mean each individual person will persevere. Do you want to be that person who doesn’t? Do you want to be that athletics department that doesn’t, even though the system lives on without you? I don’t.
