Losing Their Religion

This makes it almost impossible for church-affiliated universities to walk righteously in both worlds. Is it a no-win situation to pursue No. 1? Financially, probably. The culture of unsustainable expectations makes nearly every NCAA program a money pit.

Still, Christian schools believe. All it takes is one messiah coach. It's a pursuit about greed and pride, lust and envy, wrath and gluttony. A sinner's jackpot.

Jesus wouldn't play that game.
