Minimum US wage in 1960 was $1.00/hour and the cost of an average US home was $11,000.00

Ivy League schools charged less than $2,000.00 a year.

Even if someone is making $15.00/hour in 2025 they are taking home about $30,000.00 a year.

Price of the average US home is $418,000. Ivy League tution is about $60,000.00 a year

When they have an economy worth participating in, they probably will.

In the meantime, not playing is more of a winning move than playing, which is a shitty situation, so, unhappy.
