Re: Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
In 1940 the ratio of adult Americans with a college education was roughly 1 in 20, today it's 1 in 3. It doesn't take a college degree to understand education aids economic expansion in a tech driven market. Absolutely California's more educated population was a factor in it's becoming one of the largest economies in the… -
Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
if everyone gets student loans forgiven and then granted free school, will we see a big decline in the number of student-athletes? Why would student-athletes continue getting up at 5am every morning for workouts if they are not going to play professionally and no longer need the scholarship? Intramurals and club team… -
Re: Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
The fact is in the small town of Cedartown Georgia starting pay at the local Bojangles was 7.50 per hour when my niece applied 2 years ago. She was off for the summer while trying to make a bit of money before returning to UGA in the fall. I think Lowes and Home Depot start out at 10.50 at their retail stores, a bit more… -

Re: Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
@YaleDawg Just a side note: Try to hire someone for $8 an hour. We can't even find a dishwasher right now for $12/hour. The jobs my friends worked paying their way thru school were internships where they took a semester off working for companies like IBM, but I'm not sure there are enough of those to go around for every… -

Re: Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
If we have more liberal arts degrees than the market will support now, how will that look when we have free college tuition in the field of study of their choice? Are we moving towards a barista-based economy? On a related but ancillary note, as a society, we need to de-stigmatize trade work and re-integrate it into… -
Re: Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
I realize there is a strong dislike on the part of many of today's ''conservatives'' to helping anybody who actually needs help. Give tax breaks and ''incentives'' to billionaires, sure, lets do more of that. When it comes to helping those who need help it just rubs these people wrong though. Ok, that's my soap box rant… -
Re: Could student loan “reform” wreck college athletics?
@Bankwalker said: I believe most, if not all, student loans are forgiven after 10 years of paying a percentage of salary. This is known before the person ever starts working and accruing other debts. The people who say they cannot afford student loan debt are unable to do so because they elect to live at a higher lifestyle…
