Since 2007 until now any school that is a major football school IMHO has a nearly worthless degree.

They're more focused on football and will cut classes, raise tuition, etc for football reasons.

It why I think schools should not longer be associated with what are now basically professional sports teams.

But the things is, this is basically all the schools in the south and Midwest other than like 10 schools.

It's a part of why education in red states suck so much.

In blue states like Massachusetts, California, etc schools are still primarily for education.

Every fucking school in the south other than like vandi, rice, duke, and some other ELITE southern schools that only the super lucky or wealthy get into are just football.

It's 100% making people in the south and Midwest stupider and when ou cuts classes for football, fires teachers for football, raises tuitions for football, can't afford to keep dorms livable because football needs a new stadium and weight room and training facilities.

These college teams have more expensive training facilities than NFL teams, paid for by the tuition of people trying to get an education

Virginia is the only state with laws where schools aren't allowed to hide that tuition money is going to sports and you see schools there charge their students like $5000 for "athletic fees"

Imagine what ou, OSU, Michigan, Texas, etc are taking out of the tuition students pay for football instead of school.

If you go to Texas, you are taking out student loans so arch manning can get paid millions of dolal by the school to be mid at football

If you go to ole miss you're paying student loans for lane kiffins sexy snap chat leaks to come out and then leave after one year

If you go to Michigan you are paying fucking student loans for that disaster

10 years from now degrees from these schools will be useless as Chinese schools surpass 99% of American schools in global rankings, and more and more stories come out about how college football is destroying academics

That's bigger with private schools like Harvard or yale which are hedge funds
