Our "flagship" university has the largest endowment in the U.S. thanks to mineral rights and oil leases. Yet since deregulation, they have consistently raised tuition at about an 8% level. At the same time, they are big on offering what amounts to very costly full ride scholarships to athletes who for the most part, fail to graduate on time, if at all. So the message is, universities are running farm teams for pro leagues and allowing the regular kids to foot the bill.
