“Permit student education debt to be discharged in bankruptcy and the bogus degrees will disappear. Eliminate federal tuition assistance or guarantees and college costs will plummet.”
Totally agree with this statement, but what about the football? The uneducated football yutes have to have a chance to play futboll!
The hi sculls are all set up for futboll to make the yutes happy. And every university is spending millions on the stupid football programs.
The education system is a scam. Taking money and placing young people in debt for useless degrees.
Sad, just sad I tell ya!

Look at Hillsdale college. One of the best liberal arts schools in the country because it isn’t buried under the weight of federal regulations that come with taking federal money.

They recently stopped offering teaching degrees to students who didn’t already have a 4 year degree. They said its because America is producing too many teachers who don’t know how to do anything but teach.

College athletics is a bum deal. Both basketball and football use colleges as a minor league training grounds. Some players go on to lucrative careers. There are plenty more though who leave college uneducated and under employable. I've long advocated a system which strips away the facade of amateurism that permits athletes to attend the college and take limited courses during their eligibility. After the expiration of eligibility, those student-athlete role-players who cannot make the pros will be guaranteed the remainder of their time to complete their education. No extra charges. Their scholarship will include the degree.

Coaches derive profits from the student-athletes, the NCAA derives profits from the sale of student memorabilia, colleges derive profit from television revenue earned on the backs of the student athletes. Yet the student athlete is expected to accept any education he can squeeze into his full time job of conditioning, practice and games as payment in full for their services as athletic entertainers.
