......college classes do not necessarily equate to being educated.
If they want to offer free college then make it available to the legitimate students pursuing degrees in business, finance, technology, engineering or medical fields...........
As far as student athletes under scholarships using the universities as a pathway to the pros, I would demand any such athlete who signs a pro contract to reimburse his university for the full amount of his education and room and board..........
It’s huge myth that big time sports programs make money for their respective universities. A study I saw recently showed of all the Division 1 schools something like 20 actually made money for the school. All the rest had to be subsidized usually by the state taxpayer.
