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.

A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.

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
