Colonel Baboon, this needs your signature...


NYT today

WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumer advocate Ralph Nader is calling for the elimination of college athletic scholarships, saying the move is necessary to "de-professionalize" college athletes.

Nader's League of Fans, a group aimed at reforming sports, proposes that the scholarships be replaced with need-based financial aid. He says that would help restore academic integrity to college sports.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the proposal Thursday, ahead of its official release.

Nader, a former presidential candidate (ed. note: his candidacy siphoned off enough votes to allow Bush to steal the election and destroy amerika...remember?), argues that his plan would also help reduce the "win-at-all-costs" mentality in high schools, by reducing the incentive of college scholarships.

yeah, OK, Nader's right, but Huxley showed what happens when you screw up the soma distribution....can't anyone get Nader interested in windmills?
