This is an amazing report - ignore demographics at your peril. Of course, if these teams have a college football fans, they'll ask the state to keep that program going...

I went to school in one of those: Champaign-Urbana.

I don't think it's a doom loop, but then, I haven't been there lately.

This article is long on descriptions and analysis of what has happened and what will probably continue to happen, but weak on reasons why and jow to reverse it, although there are hints stated in it such as why US men no longer consider college worth their time. Take a long look in the mirror, university leaders; which departments go around trash talking men and calling them useless? WHICH POLICIES continually make men out to be villians for merely existing ? Also, look at city and state level policies make men out to be ogres? And you wonder why men aren't interested in college? It's really no wonder men aren't interested in college.
