Not only that, for most universities college football (some men's basketball) cover all the other men's and women's sports that hemorrhage money.
2 years community college: 4 semesters, ~$1,400
2 years university: 9 quarters (took 1 summer), ~$12,500
These are early 2010's numbers in California, not a private university.
I look back and I am pleased with the education I received for the most part, especially in my major (CS)
Why??
My favorite video of one of these is here: https://youtu.be/dOSIjoZnHwI
It was a dollar per try, and I shoved in 5 bucks. By the 4th try it was NOTICEABLE that if you press the button at the "right time", there was a lag before it overshot it and you failed. I pretty much could guess that something like the article discusses was at work, and was simply more a game of luck.
Obviously I stopped after that, as a pure luck game is not as fun. If I had known that the default was 700 losses before payout as a default, I would have had a nice drink or 3 and counted the many people that tried it throughout the day
As a side note, saw one winner at the machine get a wrapped stack of 500, 1 dollar bills
I mean...at some point a spade HAS to be a spade for this type of thing
Unsure if that index referenced, or any other studies/reports on this subject, account for this in terms WHY the donation happened or motive.
It does include willingness to help a stranger and volunteerism too, and those are ranked top 3 as well and doesn't reduce tax bills.
I have always heard the complete opposite.
