College athletics deliver many off-field benefits

Excerpt from Letter to the Editor: "The benefits of college athletics, as well as high-school sports, are far too numerous to outline here and have been expressed many times over the years. My outrage at his letter has primarily to do with his closing comment "Eliminate (PC) sports and maybe those athletes mentioned will get with the program and up those grades and pull themselves up out of the mire."

-- By Wayne Block, MCC Sports Information Director.
