I’m going to draw this back again to cars and hijack my own thread that I created.
Colleges are a lot like cars.
Porsche is a better car than a BMW, because a Porsche will always be a Porsche, not matter how much BMW tries to make an M better than a Porsche. 10-15% of the population can afford to drive a porsche. Out of that, maybe 25% of the population do so because they plan on utilizing that porsche for how it’s meant to be used. The remaining 75% of buyers buy a Porsche just because it’s a Porsche, including those that buy a Cayenne Turbo (the Porsche SUV, which is the most ridiculous thing)
The remaining 85-90% of the population that can’t afford the Porsche, probably 50% of them wouldn’t mind having one if money wasn’t an issue, but due to budget constraints, still drive a piece of shit miata. And no matter how much those people spend supercharging a miata, and even though it might come very close to a porsche… It’s still just a piece of shit miata.
