You don't want your car to entertain you, you want it to get you from place A to place B safely, efficiently, and comfortably.
That isn't true otherwise you'd never see a car sell for more than $30k. In fact, given your previous humblebrags I would guess you bought a car at a higher level than sufficient to move from place A to place B safely, efficiently, and comfortably.

I don't want my university to entertain me, well certainly not at the cost structure currently in place. I want it to educate the next generation of minds that are going to drive the world economy, and do so in an environment that fosters academic enrichment and achievement, provides a safe and stimulating environment, and fosters a culture that helps guide these young people as to how to act and function in society And does so cheaply by the way, or as cheaply as possible. Whether coach screamer makes 5mm bucks or 250k bucks doesn't impact these goals in the least.
Ok, then don't watch the sports team that is self sufficient and doesn't hurt the University in those goals in any way and seemingly may actually help those goals at least if done right. No one is telling you to care about it or support it.

If you view higher education as a portal primarily for entertainment that's great. I think now more than ever as we are hurtling towards the knowledge economy at a rapid pace, we need to get back to focusing higher education, on the actual education part.
It's amazing how disingenuous you are being here. I know I'm using the word a lot but that first sentence is laughable.
