A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.

Because this is literally what he said. He never mentioned sports, just charging in general.

I understand his sentiment, but it's not practical.

Charging students ≠ paying for the education through taxation as a public good

It must be practical as it is the normal way university works in much of the industrial world

It is practical; Wholely tax funded universities do not charge students.
