.......the end result - college students suffer AND they know they are in a HELPLESS position. So, many are now rejecting college and saying "blue collar" is good enough for them.
........Also many are enlisting in the military.
........This is just a normal and predictable reaction of young people to the GREED of the Colleges and Universities
..........Notice how society gets slighted as the "best and brightest" are NOT becoming educated to their fullest potential. I wonder if China and Russia are cheering for the US to blunder in higher education?????

College tuition has been skyrocketing much longer than the last 10 years...
College football coaches get paid "exactly" what they are worth... They get paid what the market will bear. Plus, most of them run programs that actually make money for the schools and fund the other sports programs than make nothing...
It the GOVERNMENT that caused college tuition to spiral. They keep increasing the amount of $$$ you can borrow and, by coincidence, college tuition goes up by that very same amount, year after year... Color me surprised...
Military enlistment is down. WAY down...
Oh, yeah, one more thing.... GREED! Everybody drink!
