    A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.

    Because this is literally what he said. He never mentioned sports, just charging in general.

    I understand his sentiment, but it’s not practical.

      Charging students ≠ paying for the education through taxation as a public good

      It must be practical as it is the normal way university works in much of the industrial world

      It is practical; Wholely tax funded universities do not charge students.

        Yes I think we both agree with that. It was a misinterpretation on my part of OP arguments: no charging at all vs charging students
