<div>That is also because the University presidents, Boards of Trustees, Boards of Regents, governors, legislators, the Congress, our tax code, etc have allowed, abetted, invested in and encouraged this sense of priorities in higher education.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The deans of any university department do not get the gaggle of assistants and recruiters the football coach, or any coach, does. At least one recent article in USA Today has implied many think the sports bubble is about to burst since athletics expenses are still outpacing revenues, Students and their parents are finally getting informed and tired of supporting millionaire football and basketball coaches with student fees at most universities while going into debt for life. I think it was a major university in Arizona where an engineering student there would be supplying $1000 to the athletics department in student fees over their five years of study whether they wanted to or not. A few months ago, I read in the Dayton Daily News about a student group at Miami University (Ohio) seeking more transparency in how much of their students fees go to athletics. Whether or not the U.S. Supreme Court decides to hear the O'Bannon appeal and several other legal cases regarding student athletes not getting reimbursed for certain images and likenesses or paid (while the coaches get rich and the students get poor), many experts are predicting major changes ahead. I wish.</div>

the 10 best HS football players in the<br>

<br>
If you asked the head of the History<br>
departments at Harvard, Stanford</div>
