You must be a bit confused from all those concussions in your football games. Leave education to people who can at least read.
Never played and tested out at college level for reading in 5th grade. I'm just not bitter or delusional about "for profit" colleges paying the people who make them the most, the most money. Look at the Florida Gators. They spend like $12 million a year on coaching for a program that gets $40 million in profits to the school. No professor is going to bring in that. No professor is going to help a college that much. A profitable sports team brings in more money for a college than anyone else.

It's perfectly possible to have a great sporting franchise and a great education at the same school. As they say, porque no los dos? This comment is clearly bitter towards sports for no reason.
Just an unrelated correction:
why= por qué
because= porque
Anyways, I agree your comment. Why not both?
In my home country there's a lot of wasted money in college, and sports is not among that. I wish they had a decent team.
The OP never said that the education wasn't good, only that it was the side hustle
Like the other guy said: work on reading comprehension, you sound like an ex football player from HS who took one too many shots to the head and is now perma angry when he doesn't understand basic sentences in English anymore
User you are replying to wasn't replying to OP?
Maybe my reading comprehension is bad, but it seemed obvious to me user was replying to a specific comment seeing how it was a reply to that nerd comment instead of OP and post used the phrase "this comment".
