But you have to admit there are actual ACC schools that want out of the ACC to get a bigger piece of the pie before the pie is gone. There are limited spots left in the SEC and Big10.
Not sure I would frame it that way.
I knew very well I was going to have to pay them back. Halway through my first year at UNT (3rd in my undergrad), I remember a convo with my parents where I talked about this sinking feeling that this is not the way to go about things.
But I was raised by a generation of adults/society that imprinted on me that, "this is just what you do. No matter what."
I'm not blaming that generation for this - I take full responsibility for this burden - but that doesn't mean we (me, now as an adult) can be better about setting up our current youth to make smarter decisions.
I feel like we need to have these conversations with our youth, and be better about understanding and explaining the math. The math of your future income. The math of the amount of debt you have and what it means relative to that income. The math/impact on how it impacts your ability to save for future retirement/savings.
The fact that you are tied to it, and owe it, even if you fail (or drop out).
