But there may be a retrenchment of athletics elsewhere...maybe back to the scholar athlete of my college days where a team like FSU had games seen in person or listened to on the radio. And club teams. University demand is decreasing...there will be economic pressures on education...maybe government taxpayer supported athletic departments will see less funding from government. [I]In the US, tuition averages $19,068 per year – a cost that has [URL='https://educationdata.org/average-cost-of-college']more than doubled[/URL] in the 21st Century – and recent PEW data found only 22% of U.S. adults report seeing the cost of college as worth it even when students need to take out loans. Only one-in-four said it’s extremely or very important to have a four-year college degree in order to get a well-paying job in today's economy. These feelings are born out in Gen Z enrollment rates. The percentage of US high school graduates enrolling in college has fallen from 70% in 2009, firmly in Millennial territory, to 62% in 2022, according to the [URL='https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d23/tables/dt23_302.10.asp']National Center for Educational Statistics[/URL] data cited by a BestColleges [URL='https://www.bestcolleges.com/research/college-enrollment-decline/']review of research[/URL].
