How does that last quote of mine show my bias? I’ve cited in other posts numerous articles talking about the lack of profitability of most college athletics. I then stated an opinion of mine and indicated that it was merely an opinion. It’s my perception that athletic programs don’t pay for the stadiums they use. Those stadiums use taxpayer money. I know this to true at FSU and at the University of Minnesota. I’m not an expert on this topic and I gave an opinion on an aspect of this issue that I admittedly didn’t have lots of information.
Do you not have opinions, impressions, thought, ideas about things you haven’t studied? Of course you do. In my case I was intellectually honest enough to let the reader distinguish between those thoughts of mine I had ready evidence for and those that I don’t.
As to your third paragraph please keep in mind my usage of with rare exceptions. Of course you can cite counter examples to the general trend of college football being a drain on resources. Also note that I’ve cited evidence to back up my beliefs and you have not. You’ve even made a reference to common sense. There are far too many examples of where intuition and common sense are wrong for this to be a legitimate basis for a strong belief.
