I'd say it's true for roughly 80% of high major programs

Whether or not it's true for the players in them. The 35th best player on South Carolina isn't going to the NFL, but that program (and by proxy that school) cares far more about him as a cog in the football revenue machine than it remotely does about his education. And it's even worse on the basketball side.
