What about the responsibility of others to you and yours? After all, you may be able to finance the education of your children, but how comfortable are you knowing that your "responsibility" is significantly increased because of rampant corruption? (we've already covered what a sinkhole college athletics are... now here's the icing on the cake: http://www.thehoya.com/bcs-system-rife-with-corruption-1.2648473 )

Or what about when your "responsibility" is increased because of cosmetic expenses that have nothing to do with the quality of the education your child receives? Shouldn't the people making those decisions be held responsible?
