There's like three hundred million Americans, and I feel like nowhere near enough of them are passionate about how higher education and unpaid athletes performing for the commercial benefit of rich people should have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

I would be passionate about it if anybody would listen to me decrying how ridiculous the entire shenanigan is. But I have a feeling nobody would ever listen to me.

If Elon musk or Bill Gates or ~~Steve Jobs...sry dead~~ or President Biden or John Cena were passionate about how higher education and unpaid athletes performing for the commercial benefit of rich people should have absolutely nothing to do with each other... then I think people would listen.
