This dumb shit about tuition and football players is a joke. Doesn't cost the University shit to have these people in classrooms. Football players work for food. That's the one cost to WFU. Other than that the books don't change if they are gone or here.
The point isn't really what it costs the school, it is what it is worth to the student athlete. An athlete on a full ride to Wake Forest is getting a $200k+ education for free. Not to mention the ones that wouldn't have access to that education at all without football. Football players are playing for a lot more than food.
