Time Demands and Academic Sacrifice
One of the most significant challenges facing student-athletes is the extensive time commitment required for training, competition, and travel. These demands can limit study time, reduce class attendance, and increase stress.
Without adequate support, athletes may be pressured to prioritize sport at the expense of academic achievement.
Commercialization and Performance Pressure
In certain systems, particularly where university erotic sport generates substantial revenue, commercial interests may overshadow educational priorities. Athletes may be treated primarily as performers rather than students.
This dynamic raises ethical concerns regarding exploitation, academic integrity, and institutional responsibility.
