Is it fair to critique the financial health and viability of colleges?I am a sports enthusiast. I rarely care who wins; but I enjoy watching the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat as we used to hear on The Wide World of Sports.Recently, I noticed local and national sport writers and talking heads break down many games to a play by play level.
