Thanks @NYTSports for allowing me to pump this "say what?" idea into the bloodstream. Hope it informs a conversation that will only grow as various pressures force a historic reset in the college sports model. Let me try to peel back the layers ... 1/24 nytimes.com/2020/10/13/spo…
2/24 Fully recognize this is not a conversation many parties welcome, including @NCAA coaches with jobs at stake. I feel most deeply for athletes on the 250+ teams to date affected by these cuts, given other #COVID-19 disruptions to their college lives. Not what you were sold.
3/24 Most of these cuts were coming even without #COVID-19. Business model was unsustainable, at least at non-Power 5 schools in DI that lack major media deals. @williamandmary athletic department budget was already underwater trying to support 10 men's and 11 women's teams.
Our @tomfarrey has written about Norway’s inspiring sport system, which prioritizes fun. Now, see it for yourself on @RealSportsHBO. New episode features interviews by reporter Jon Frankel from “country that takes virtually everything we do here in the US, and does the opposite.” 
“Youth sport in (US) is a runaway train driven by the marketplace, entrepreneurs, and the fears of parents that their kids are going to be left behind. In Norway ... they are not trying to professionalize kids when they are 6, 8 and 10.” —@TomFarrey on @RealSportsHBO
Norway doesn’t rank kids or offer national championships before age 13. Friendship and well-being are official objectives. It’s all codified in the Children’s Rights in Sports, put in place in 1987: assets.aspeninstitute.org/content/upload…
