Our higher education system rocks the world over
Based on what data do make that conclusion?
Basically anyone who has anything to say about quality of University level education will say the US leads far and away in number and quality.
A recent Newsweek ranking showed that 80% of the world's Top Ten universities were American and over half the top 50 were American. The Times Higher Education Supplement, arguably one of the world's most respected education comparisons of universities from all around the globe, listed 13 American universities in the Top 20, including 6 in the Top 10. The quality of American university education is second to none.

Where would the increase in public funding for higher education come from? You would be cutting athletics and merchandising income and replacing that with public funds as well...
The current system might not be the best, but a ton of money gets put into the system as it is.
