What do public universities do with profits from sporting events. Some colleges bring in quite a lot of money from their televised football games. All of them seem to have corporate sponsorship all of the way up to naming the bowls after the corporate sponsor.

None of that money seems to go back into the school other than to fund a bigger stadium, require more corporate sponsors and allow the biggest to name the stadium, or going solely into the sports department. Some college football coaches make the same, if not more, than some NFL coaches... millions of dollars.

Just like our politicians being sold to the highest corporate bidder, so, too, is our higher education...and the students are left to foot the bill on their student loans with no guarantee of a job in a field they went to school for, in a job market with decreasing available jobs, with an economy based solely on other countries buying our exponentially increasing debt in hopes we'll somehow be able to pay them back when we can't even help young Americans dig themselves out of this prison of debt. The advertisements we're bombarded with daily, convincing some that they need that new item, they it's just a small amount of debt on top of what I already have forcing virtually every American to live beyond their means where hardly anything they have isn't owned by someone else (vehicles, furniture, house, student loans, electronics...).

The bigger threat here is that hardly anyone recognizes America is a sinking ship with no end in sight until it's finally below the surface on its way to the bottom. By then, it's too late. People will be keeping warm by burning worthless money, eating canned dog food which is fit for human consumption for a reason, chaos in the streets, people killing each other for bottled water, food, clothing, and anything else that is a dire necessity.
