>So how did universities get money to run back in Kant and Hegels day?
Universities were items of prestige for a Prince in the late early modern. They were basically consumption items, rather than capital goods. Contemporary universities produce skilled labour power, and come out of (broadly) capital goods budgets. Compare US "college sports" budgets which are consumption status items, to undergraduate teaching or the library budget. The library and undergraduate teaching need to turn a profit.

Yes I did just declare college basketball to be a higher pursuit, one worthy of the contemplative life, taken for its own benefits. If you disagree kidnap your Chancellor and ransom his joints position for position in new permanent appointments—you'll get as many as letters to the editor would.
