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.
Charging students ≠ paying for the education through taxation as a public good
It must be practical as it is the normal way university works in much of the industrial world
Yes yes go read my other comments.
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
