Well that's news to all the universities outside the US who manage to cope with just educating people and not needing 100,000 seater stadiums. People fraternise on their own. They don't need enormous sports budgets to do it.
But culturally, in the US, sports are how (a plurality of) people fraternize. Even our most prestigious universities, like the world-famous Harvard, has a football team.
Yeah, and as someone raised in Europe where education is actually valued, I think that's dumb. Education institutions should be there to educate, not to entertain
Lot can be learned on the field.
