2:08 am
taxpayer help. >> this thing, mike has a tendency to expand as all government programs do. ssi waseant for the blind, handicapped and elderly. it was a maul amount of money and now larger. all government programs expand. is it not? >> they pitch them as free. but the over all economy. this is a large cost. look at current recovery since june 2009 and since that time median incomes are down 4600 on average. during the recession. they wer down on average 2800. and so it was a great cost. >> and when you hear free from the government reach for your wallet and you will be paying for it if you are a taxpayer. college students and parents fed up with saring tuition and crying ful. but some in the forbes team

schools and students. you got to explain. this is a flip side. >> absolutely. parents and students need to relax and realize that football coaches get a fraction of all of the money. donations go up that pray for all of the other athletic teams and lower tuition. you want to get rid of the money producers and you will see pruition rise as a result. >> john's head if you cut back on the calories you can increase tuition costs. what do you say. >> i love john and we go back and forth on college e-mails he's wrong on this one and i will site the university of california. he went 3 and nine and less an half of the ftball players graduated from an elite institution . this is it a coach who harmed
2:14 am
the reputation of one of the elite universities in the country. it is not only the tuitition price. but the value of the degree. >> emac you got to break the tie here. >> listen, i think that the college football program is great. how long can you squeeze students and continue to pay high college coach pay? how can you do that when basically the ddle class is getting squeezed and can't afford college tuition. pugh research saying 97 percent of the college grauds can't afford it mississippi state, he gets 2.5 million and a fifth of the population of the state is unemployed and in poverty. i don't know how you can do that and squeeze the middle class students. >> mike as you may had well know is the czar of forbes magazine if u cut the salaries of the coaches, will it increase or lower tuition.

going up is the bloat of the administrative costs and scott brown in massachusetts was right when he reported that senator warren was making 4--ing you to -- $300 to teach one course. >> with certain viewers, i will cut them all the way to zero. d i think that the football program should be moved into a for profit subsidary. the university is for learning and football you do on your own time like going to the pool hall. >> john, what do you think of that solution? >> it is ridiculous. look at what happened to usc. university of the spoil would children and now it is impossible to get into. why pete carol arrived and donations to the school
2:17 am
soaredlet >> but they are soaring because they are tax exempt. to bill's point. the colleges and universities are out of control because they are nonprofit. they have 40 administrators for every one student. and i don't know why stunes are giting squeezed when football is so profitable. nand they stand up for the university of the sphoil would children, go ahead, rich. >> and pete carol was running out and scandal trailing him the whole way. sc is a great school and more frominent over time and i don't know how you correlate it to pete carol. >> so far, no one is going for bill baldwin's solution. nand my reform plan would eliminate the ncaa. enthe football. thanks to the web education is upend football will be like
