The costs of a basic college education is on the rise...again.  Real soon some folks will not be able to put their kids through a 4-year college on campus without selling the family jewels.  Is this class warfare?  Seems like it.  Grants and scholarships are there but the low and middle class high school graduate, unless a National Honor Society member will struggle for years to come with debt on college loans.  The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  I have nephews that will be paying on college loans into their late 30s, at least.  Mean time, the ADs and the coaches get huge, I mean huge pay raises and the CEOs of men's football, basketball, and baseball rake it in.  The Athletic Department, many years ago, used to be an office that oversaw "extra-curricula" atheltic activities by the students.  An education was the focus of Joe College.  It seems like the AD could throw some money at "The University" once in awhile, but Noooo!  That would send the wrong message.  Pass the tuition increases on to the students (families).  Some student atheletes have private tutors (Asst. Coaches), on staff and paid by the AD that do nothing more than make sure the "athelete-student" gets all of his/her course assignments completed and  passed, thus keeping their eligibilty current for games and competition.  The popularity of community colleges, technical colleges, and on-line degree universities will continue because of the costs.  The affordability factor and the student's demand for a 4-year college education will decrease.  Who will benefit from this in an ever-expanding global economy?
