Universities aren't supposed to "help the public." They're paid to educate. But sadly, far far too often, they've become the wellspring of socialist thought and political muscle.

Well then I'm sure you would find enough people in your legislature willing to defund every university program except for the Football and Basketball teams at Madison.

Yes. That’s what we want. Just football and basketball. You’re so smart to see the evil plan.

Actually you stumbled onto a very very very important point.....it is major college sports, watched and enjoyed largely by competitive conservatives, that have kept these same conservatives from seeing what a liberal cesspool these places are.

The loyalty keeps people in love with their alma mater, or maybe their local state university school that bears the name of their state - and keeps their mind off of how the country is being destroyed by academia nuts on the left.

Universities are not meant to “help the public.” They may help, in the course of doing business or by contract, but their sole purpose is to teach.

As for sports, I’d be glad if it was all abolished. Pole jumping scholarships don’t edify anyone.

Well since Walker doesn’t have a college degree why would he appreciate getting one?

Trump’s campaign slogan: Make America Great Again.

Walker’s campaign slogan: Protecting America From College Professors.
