About a College bodybuilding league where colleges could send bodybuilders to represent their university and see which one wins. Honestly, if gymnastics or some of these other small sports can make it into the universities agenda why not bodybuilding?

Anything competitive can be considered a sport.
Poker is on ESPN for instance.

Hahah i knew someone would say that but i didn't know what to call it. Honestly if they can get a fucking bass fishing collegiate sports league why not bodybuilding? I am seriously thinking about submitting the idea to my student atheletic rep.

I don't condider Poker a sport too.
Bodybuilding is more like.... and art. well no it isn't anymore
I don't even know how to classify it
-
Cos it would be classed as 'encouraging' young people to use steroids.

You're the kinda guy that thinks that all sports have balls.
Maybe you like "balls", "Stavios" ?

I would clean that up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The steroids would ruin it all.

So could football, dont be silly.

NCAA actually enforces their rules. Testing is random and would be hard to avoid. You get one warning.

But football brings in millions.

Soo.... gymnastics doesn't bring in shit and they still are supported by the University. Same with bass fishing.

Counts you out then, "gruesome".

The difference is with football, a lot of people know that they use, but they try to hide it away and portray the players as pure athletes.
Bodybuilding is viewed by the public as 'all drugs' which unfortunately is 99% true.

Football supports that other crap. I guess they can afford a few thongs, I mean, uniforms.

It doesn't matter. It is still a feasible idea. I think it would be enormously popular and would bring more people into the sport and make it more mainstream.

yup. NCAA tests hardcore and bodybuilding is a whole lotta drugs

I am beautiful 8)

When you think about it there wouldn't be much for the universities to lose and all for them to gain. Seriously, what are they going to pay for? Judges, trunks, and maybe a training coach... you don't even have to have coaches. The bass fishing league doesnt. They have more to gain then they do to lose.

Does you Mom tell you that when she tucks you in at night? ::)
I, on the other hand, am so good looking I feel compelled to stare at myself in the mirror for no less than 4.153 hours per day.

And you've gotta look at it from the parents point of view.
Play football, be good, earn a multi-million dollar contract in the NFL.
Do gymnastics, be good, represent your country in the Olympics and win medals.
Be a bodybuilder, be good, pose for middle-aged men to cover the cost of your 'roids, knock 20 years off your life or die of organ failure.
"Son, you're gonna play ball!!!"

gayer than the culture club

Play football and end up walking the rest of your life with a limp and broken dreams talking about the good old days when you used to play while you mop up the puke in the highschool bathroom. Either way, its a chance for people to make money, get scholarships, and do something with their life.

I am so beautiful that when I go to a club I have to put a paper bag on my head so the other guys can get some chicks too

True, I agree with what you're saying. But my point is that the public perception of bodybuilding needs to change before it could happen.

This would be a step foward... sure it would be small and underground but i think it would really take off in the bb community. Plus it would get newspaper coverage, magz, etc.

Well, anythings worth a try, best of luck to ya. If you do try it, make sure you appeal to the parents of these kids and emphasize that its a 'physique contest' as opposed to 'bodybuilding'. They need to see it as a way for their kid to get fit and healthy.

i like the way joe weider classifies it. first its a lifestyle, second its an artform, third its a sport

bodybuilding could never be a viable sport in any circuit, let alone at a college level. i have to believe that the colleges wiould never invest in something that could so easiily result in multiple law suits or an investigation. just consider how many things could go wrong if there were college sanctioned contests; the issues of drug testing and drug related injury or death would be imminent. because of the extreme drug usage which has become engrained in this sport, the potential range of the "sport" is limited.

Yeah you are right, because natural orgs are completle flops ::)

The "E" in ESPN stands for ENTERTAINMENT - it doesn't always have to air a sport. Shit...they have spelling contests on the damn channel.

I believe if bodybuilding wants to get it out of the hole it has dug itself in then it needs a step in the right direction and i think this would be a HUGE step.
