I am afraid you are an ignoramus. Universities are being ruined by their failure to reward researchers for their ideas. Any good university is being torn apart by the cupidity of the administrators -- who never invented anything -- and the departure of professors, technicians, and students who have invented something that is not being developed. Universities are being turned into medieval grammar schools with a handful of useless pedants teaching subjects with no market value, while commercial schools are turning out systems engineers and the like. Yet universities don't know how to commercialize anything, even football.
There's a lot of money to be made by freeloading on universities. I've made a lot myself. SUNW ("Stanford Universities Networks"), CSCO and many others came from Stanford. Why isn't it richer? The greedy bastards have to share and enrich the scientists, or they'll quit and do it themselves. Then we'll only have crummy uninventive universities left, like yours, that can't even play football well.
