Schools used to be funded by the state. Now that piece of the pie is a pittance. So they are defacto money-making ventures and way way WAY less (in my opinion) about educating average people and getting them ready to have successful productive lives. So big football (TV revenue) and big research (big Pharma money and their ilk) run the show. And the person who just wants to go to college for 4 years, maybe have a little fun while they're at it, get to either forego that for a crappy school or pay back loans for the next 15 years because their school had to have a new stadium.
