College athletics is something most people would consider to be of great importance, however they might not think why. In fact some people might underestimate the value it has just because its so wide spread and they take it for granted. However nowadays college athletics is an important part of the "college experience". In fact many people once graduated will remember going to the football games and cheering on for their team more than they will going to class.
College athletics plays a major factor in creating college spirit and loyalty, because most people will take pride and privilege on their college teams even if they are not the best. Additionally events such as football games bring colleges together as everyone is supporting the same side and for many it is a gratifying experience and something they can take away once they have graduated.
However it must be noted that college athletics can also take the form of varsity teams, which involves more people and allows them to play in a mix of a competitive and recreational way the sport they like. This can be a self esteem builder as well as promote such traits as leadership and team work. Furthermore it can help keep students away from activities such as drinking and consuming drugs because it gives them something else to do, and it helps them find friendship and camaraderie which can later on help them overcome problems. All in all college athletics brings many benefits to a campus and it is definitely something students can enjoy.
