They deserve it. They let this happen and wokeness caused average people to despise universities policies. People can act like it doesn’t exist, but more and more young people want trades now which is a great thing. They have so many useless degrees it’s ridiculous. I’m sure more than a few will. Taxpayers need to make sure they don’t end up paying for their nonsense.
The nation needs educated people. The rural areas can stick to being inbred and pedo protectors and preying to Putin and living off welfare

AI is going to destroy every single institution in this country. Including college athletics.

Boomers are going to be super f'd because they have the wealth but not the means to protect themselves. The paper wealth is going to collapse. And there won't be any SS cause the job market is about to collapse.

Universities - which employ a lot of people - are about to completely fold. Sports will be an afterthought. They will get wiped out immediately.

The only chance our society has is to stop AI in its tracks and break up big tech.

Zero chance this happens with the current administration.

Pedo protectors? They would be hung from a tree. The pedos exist in leftist culture more than anywhere else. You literally want to legalize it. GTFOH. Putin lmfao. Your talking points are so stupid. Nobody here gives two ***** about Putin.

If you want to prove you’re not a pedo protector just release the files.

You don't need college to have a successful career now. The decades-long mindset of "if you don't have a degree at a four year university, you're a failure" doesn't exist anymore. It has nothing to do with 'wokeness' and average people do not "despise" universities' policies.

Log off Facebook occasionally and stop blaming a buzzword for everything, which you've done in the past. The only folks who talk about 'woke' in 2026 are old people who've latched onto a word and use it as a crutch for anything they've been told by cable tv to dislike now.

The Paddock and Rafters had been bad about that. Don't like something? WOKE ITS WOKE WOKE BROKE. You sound like a robot lol.
Hush up dem.

I wouldn't look so much at enrollments and the number of courses or majors available to determine the fate of athletics. Athletics function on TV contracts, sponsorships, and alumni donations. Those streams of money have little to do with the academic side of things.

Schools are dipping into other areas to cover losses in athletics. Some schools now charge regular students over 1k in "Athletic fees". As was said the big issue was when the government made student loans impossible to discharge in bankruptcy. Schools were given the ability to charge what they wanted without fear of not getting their money.

You're just jealous you couldn't get in college. Quit hating.
This a joke? Anyone with a pulse can get in a college undergraduate program somewhere.
He wrote out a reasoned response. You reply with sophistry and "hating." That's lazy at best.

This is hard for the boomer mind to comprehend but not everything is about politics..
Nor is simply yelling "Boomer" and then strutting around like you made some brilliant point. Yeah, politics probably doesn't need to be discussed here, but political ideology and the current state of higher education have been intertwined and are virtually inseparable at this point.

“Boomer” and “woke” have both become such annoyingly overused buzzwords. Young people mindlessly try to scapegoat things by just saying boomer, and old people mindlessly try to scapegoat things by just saying woke. And neither side are truly doing their own thinking.
Fairly certain the older folks didn't originate the affront to grammar that is the term "woke."

And younger folks didn’t originate the term boomer. But they sure as hell are now the ones who most like to toss it around with a negative connotation. Just as older folks are now the ones who most like to use woke with a negative spin.

The point wasn’t about who invented the terms, instead it was about who’s mindlessly overusing them.

Remember all those Boomers who blew their gaskets over Sydney Sweeney’s jean ad? And, those Boomers who criticized Scary Movie 6 for its gender-related jokes? Boomers were also mad about “Emilia Perez”. Those Boomers!!! Making everything political.

As an older member of the Boomer generatio, turning eighty this year, I associate with a goodly number of other boomers as well as the generation ahead of us, well into their eighties and nineties. Most of us know absolutely nothing about today’s pop culture and don’t give a damn. I don’t think many of us ever saw Scary Movie 6 (or the preceding 5) or know what “Emilia Perez” even refers to. Most know the name of Sydney Sweeney but didn’t pay any attention to any controversy. Most of us old men just looked at her beauty and wished we young again.

Of course that seems all true and why you should reread my post with the sarcasm intended. :)

I don't think all boomers are Rob Reiner Meathead types. That generation is just so large, that the loudmouthed radicalized ones seem to be everywhere.
