That said, it is a sad state of affairs when we spend as much on collegiate athletics as we do in this country. It's not about the money going to education, and moreso just the absurdity of it all.
No more absurd than the billions of dollars poured into the movie industry yearly

If you look at it that way, then every dollar spent on the Athletics side is about the P&L impact. If newer lockers get better recruits, and better on-field results, and more suites sold, then the Academics side benefits.

And that's just the direct $$$ benefits.
There is also the well-documented enrollment benefits associated with successful sports.

With the exception the movie industry is strictly in the entertainment business.
Colleges are supposed to be in the education business over all else. That is their purpose.
I get what he is saying, but what are you gonna do? People care more about being mindlessly entertained than being educated.
