If you add up the amount of money spent on athletic programs that are in the red, it probably comes out to many billions of dollars annually.
I guess if it "wouldn't make a dent", then might as well just keep on wasting money, huh?
Sound logic right there.
Sounds like you'd be a great university president.
Do you have any concrete numbers to back up your point? How much money do you really think a university spends on sports like water polo? I'm guessing not much compared to the rest of the budget.
What about the utterly cynical franchised diploma mills like University of Arizona and National University that boast about how few "irrelevant" classes their night-school crowd has to take?
University of Phoenix. U of Arizona is a real place.

Family of four making $60,000 with one in college goes to UC for free. Higher income, but not rich, family of four making $100,000 would pay the full price of around $14,000. I wouldn't call either rich. The latter can do what I did and pay for it. After freshman year I didn't get any need-based aid. Parents paid for my car insurance the one year I had a car, my medical insurance, and my cell phone. I took out loans and worked to pay for tuition, books, rent, food, spending money.
Who cares if it's double the income of some people. One dollar is more income than some people. That doesn't mean it's a lot of money. Median earnings of a college graduate will more than pay for that in a year over what someone with a high school diploma has, so no, not particularly expensive.

Rich people get to go to school for free.
They have parents that can pay for a car, insurance, phone.
They can get loans, because their parents can sign for them.

Who cares? Apparently, no one.
People with resources pay for their children to attend school. They do not sign for loans.
Businesses no longer want to invest in training people, they expect the colleges to pump out "turn key" employees.
False. Businesses don't expect anything.
It is the responsibility of student to acquire both education and relevant job skills. If the student does so, in the current job market the student will be showered with opportunities. If the student fails to do so, well, at least they had 4 years of partying, sex, drugs, & rock'n'roll.
