Video: Debate on whether too many kids go to college

Judging from the material I've received this morning, today seems to be the big Let's-Question-the-Value-of-College Day.

(And it'll keep popping up. Always does.)

The main event here at MPR is at noon: Midday's broadcast of the Intelligence Squared structured debate: Too many kids go to college.
