What I meant is someone has to pay for it, it's not free lunch. You're right that the students don't pay it through taxes, but someone has to. Myself as a working person do pay for others through taxes
Edit: as people seem to have failed to see my point: I'm glad my taxes help pay for other's studies
Why do you think OP is not aware that there are costs to be paid but merely disagrees with using sports as a way to pay for it?
You even used the word Utopian. Well most universities are not financed via sports even non public ones. Far from Utopian.
Because this is literally what he said. He never mentioned sports, just charging in general.
I understand his sentiment, but it's not practical.
It is practical; Wholely tax funded universities do not charge students.
Yes I think we both agree with that. It was a misinterpretation on my part of OP arguments: no charging at all vs charging students
