However, if Connor is both pulling his own weight academically AND bringing in more money to the school by ticket sales and merchandising than he is absorbing through his scholarship (possible, but hardly guaranteed) then I wouldn't begrudge it. That said, college sports as they are are, well, foolish. We would do better to establish sports academies for this exceptionally gifted in them, and train them for sports like we do for Olympic athletes, and leave colleges to their true mission: academic learning and research.

I have been saying this exact thing for 20 years. Colleges were VERY affordable as recent as the 80s and early 90s. I remember paying $780 a quarter (so basically 2250 a year) in tuition at Georgia Tech in early 90s. The room and board and meal plan cost about the same as tuition. People once could afford to work a part time job and pay for tuition. Now a part time job would only pay for a few books and the meal plan for a semester. The tuition and room and board another $5000 - $10000 a semester at most state schools. nuts. End, don't just reduced, but END ALL government subsidies. No a single government backed loan, not a single federal grant, nothing. Within HOURS you would see colleges offering free room and board and meal plans if you come to their school and pay tuition, that is suddenly reduced 50%. You would see a "buy the first year and we'll pay for the second year" deals, again, with greatly reduced costs (the colleges would be competing with each other by dropping costs constantly). We need everything on campus right-sized (lean and mean), including overpaid faculty that doesn't even teach in many cases (research, ie, sitting on their keisters writing books to make even more money). If nothing else, ban any federal aid to schools whose non-faculty costs are more than triple faculty salaries. I may be way off, but find a reasonable percent and any college that has fancy rock walls and student centers full of luxuries and overbuilt resort dorms is cut off and if they fail, GOOD. That means a cheaper, back to just educating college will rise from those ashes. Why do so many (not all) Democrats and leftists think MORE money will somehow control or reduce costs, when it's done nothing but encourage campus execs to lavishly spend on COMPLETELY unnecessary luxuries and non-education related amenities? All a student needs is a SMALL, but clean dorm room with a full size bed, a shower and restroom, reasonable and nutritious meals (not lobster or filet or truffles) and solid classrooms and faculty, nothing more.

My son went to college. I paid for it. First thing I learned. Living in a dorm cost more then the education, along with books. He lived at home, and it was affordable. Also, most states allow, as well as it being free. High school student to take english 101, math 101, and history/government 101. At a community college, and have that count at credits for their first year of college. With them still being in High School. It's free for them. They go to their regular High School for the morning, and the community college in the afternoon. It eliminates paying for the first year of college, or the first 2 years, if they start as a junior on high school.

community college or trade school is the way to go.

Community College is uneccesary... It's just reliving 13 years of high school in two years. Trade school is very important.

Quit bringing up all of your pesky facts. They just get in the way of people who want socialism. Thank you for all that you do! And never stop finding the truth!

And when they graduate, they want this lifestyle in the workplace and expect employers and society to be accommodating to their desires.

Make sure you will have their safe spaces

My family is a true middle class white collar family. My mom is a masters level nurse and my dad is an occupational therapist. I was expected to go to school and not settle for anything less than a masters degree. Best thing that I did was wait until I knew what I wanted. I didn't go to my university until the age of 23/24. I worked the whole time. I missed a lot of community events and such. But now I get to do whatever I want because I graduated with an undergraduate degree debt free. I am half way through my Masters program debt free. My family is proud and I appreciated my education way more than my classmates because I had to work for that education.

And a big thing I wish people understood, you do not need a campus for a community experience. There are so many social groups you can get involved with (whether hobby related, volunteer, sports related etc.) that you can find and be a part of. I guarantee you that most people stop talking to all but 10 or so of their "friends" from college. I wish we stopped treating college as simply an extended form of high school, it is stunting the development of people into responsible adults by pushing them into more school no matter the cost.

College= Sucker's bet. And p.s the library is free to study whatever you want.

2:20 this could mean that state funding towards schools has gone down per student. while state funding towards students has gone up per student

My ex was given a budget of $30,000 to equip her office at UGA 25 years ago. She only needed a little over $8100. They said no, you have to spend it all or it will be cut next year. So she bought lots of stuff she didn't need. Multiply that little scenario by all the professors at all the colleges and you have your answer.

Just remember that YOUR TAX DOLLARS pay for all of that, and the students never seem to be able to pay it back!

College is the second-biggest rip off in this country. (The biggest rip-off is, of course, Social Security.)

Don't stress too much about it. 4 years later, they'll be working 60h a week paying off their loans. Unless we let the Democrats have their way and forgive all the money they borrowed from US.

Best quote on the subject: "No Banker, who values his job, would ever give a kid with no job, no assets, no plan, and no credit history an unsecured low interest $100K loan. This nonsense goes on because the Fed Govt guarantees that loan!"

My ass colleges have been cut to the bone. My engineering school got $80 million dollars from a donor's will. Instead of making more dorms for freshman or more study spaces etc. (which are badly needed), all the money went into a giant PR building with barely any use for students. But we got pretzels and smoothies omg!!!

When they spend money on dumb shit because they know that people choose based on random amenities rather cost (since BASICALLY ANYONE can get student loans), it’s surprising why people can’t figure out why costs are exploding. Why not get a cheaper college and then choose to do karate on the side? Why does the school need a dojo? Everyone going there who doesn’t want to do karate is now paying for that. That just replicates for every other thing that gets added.

Anything on campus not directly related to education should be paid for by user fees. This should drop the tuition for all students and then those services really wanted by students will become apparent. If the administrators make the wrong decisions you will easily be able to identify them by their huge mistakes and fire them.

I love how that demos woman kept lying with a straightface.

Thank you for pointing out the insane relative inflation of the cost of college. That is something that frustrates me when discussing college debt with many older people, they don’t seem to understand the drastic increase in the cost of attendance. When my boss entered our field his total student debt was just under the average first year salary, now it’s more than two times average first year salaries. Worse still there is still a pretty good percentage of people in my field with zero debt, take them out of the equation and the number goes to almost 4:1.

We can’t keep throwing money at the problem!! *grabs a shovel to throw more money at the problem*

I graduated from a community college two years ago. I had federal aid for the 2.5 years I was there. I had to take out a loan for the first year. It was $5,500. I was blessed with a scholarship my last two semesters. The scholarship covered my entire tuition and yet I STILL received federal funding. I was being paid by the government to go to school. Which was nice, because I used the federal money to pay back a portion of my loan. Also I’m student debt free as of last Saturday!!! Community college/trades are so much better.

Lol when I was in college my idea of fun was studying, playing cards, biking, and volunteering for habitat for humanity. Didn't do anything expensive, yet I had fun.

College is a scam ! Just a repeat of highschool with a higher cost 🤣

In a free market, college would be a transaction between a student and a university to buy productivity skills in exchange for a voluntary equilibrium price. When government funding gets involved, it becomes an excuse for taxing some people, giving the money to students, the students handing that same money to universities, and universities looking for ways to waste it.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!! Liberals solution to problems caused by government intervention is MORE government intervention. For those of you who have not heard of the Libertarian Party, it is a PERFECT forever home for those of us that think logically about economics and value our personal freedom.

Also if you quality for financial aid, they will give you free tuition and give you another free 2-5k a semester depending on your income bracket.

@Dan Horden Yeah I think people tend to over exaggerate a bit about American colleges. Obviously if you want or “need” to get into an Ivy League it’ll cost you around $50,000 yearly tuition which is a harder pill to swallow but for many career paths an Ivy League is considered overkill. I think the stories of American college graduates drowning in debt revolve around them getting money from student loan sharks, not being able to utilize their degree, or just poorly managing their finances in general.

The Five Ds of Dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge

I have two cousins that went to four year colleges and they both graduated two years ago. They both got multiple student loan after loan to survive during that four years so they could focus on studying without out working. One now works at Wal Mart and the other waits tables at a steak house. They now work to attempt to pay off some of the loans they got and make next to nothing. I went to a trade school at the same time they were attending college. They laughed and cracked jokes about my path and thought it was so funny. They both drive beat up worn out cars and live right beside the ghetto in apartments. I paid up front for my classes so I have ZERO debt. I drive a new car and have a nice small home I also had job placement help right out of school. My first year out of school I mad 90k. This year with overtime included in I will make over 160k They are no longer laughing at me. They are busy stocking shelves and carrying meat.

They used to say that in the olden days. Schools should teach "reading, 'riting and 'rithmatic". To be honest, we need to get people to start reminding schools of what they should be teaching! To be fair, it really applied to elementary school.

The only thing colleged should compete on is academic/research excellence, not climbing walls & lobster dinners.

Never seen Stossel get his temper elevated.

No wonder why the graduation rate for students who start college but don’t finish is so low, they’re doing everything else EXCEPT for studying!

"We have to make sure college is available for everybody" So they can go get into debt, and eventually vote democrat for loan forgiveness. Brilliant! That lady you interviewed lives in wonderland. She refuses to consider your point of view even remotely.
