I suppose we could also add sports to the reason of rising student tuition. Students are paying more for education to pay the salaries of sport staff and the other supporting costs.

When Football coaches earn more than any of the other faculty there is a serious problem.

My sons high school and every other high school in my county has spent more on sports facilities than on any other aspect of education. Football stadiums, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, several football fields, a parking lot the size of a football field for band marching practice, At least 3 massive indoor gyms, wight rooms. Everything is watered and manicured all year around and I would say about 30 - 40 % of the schools students actually use these facilities.

I wonder why my property taxes are 14k a year.

This just carries on to post secondary education but instead of property taxes it's student tuition that is paying for it.
