A Very Small Breath of Sanity

NPR asks Is it still college without football?  A fair question, but even the title shows a bias toward varsity sports.  The article is actually more about two colleges' efforts to contain tuition costs, with the curtailment of quasi-professional varsity sports being just one component.  From the article:

There will be push back. Parents are becoming much more cost-conscious today in looking at universities... When you get top privates touching $60,000 a year, that's a quarter million dollars for four years! I think people are really taking a step back.

Hard to argue with that.
