I like the portal. Coaches are forced to treat players with respect, or they will leave. Some coaches act like they are training soldiers to go to war, when in reality it is still just a game. For a while, I have thought academics and athletics should be separate. Have local club teams that operate independently of the university. They can pay the university rental fees for facility usage. Most athletic programs are losing money. www.linkedin.com College coach salaries have gone crazy. If a club can find a way to pay millions of dollars to their coach, good for them, or that coach can try to make it in the pros.
Arming teachers will cause way more accidental deaths than lives saved. The school resource officer is the way to go.
