Research has nothing to do with academics. Crazy.
It doesn't. It lines the pockets of graduate research professors and it creates new ones because the graduate students slave for the professors and do all of their work to get the label PhD after slaving for 5-6 years. And the professors tin cup all over creation for grant money. If they get good at getting it, they get tenure. Then they can really suck as professors, and they can't be fired. Academics to me is teaching and learning. I've lived in graduate departments at Georgia Tech. I know how it operates, and it is not academics. No. And all of this does exactly zero for any student athlete and shouldn't even be discussed or thought about regarding athletic conferences.
