The U.S. middle class has felt the crunch of college for many years. With middle class students being too well off for federal financial aid but without the ability to pay for college without taking out loans, more assistance has been needed for a while — but any actions to improve the middle class situation must take the rest of society into account.

Indianapolis — The talk of a potential No. 1 seed can stop. The questions of how far the MSU men’s basketball team is capable of going in the NCAA Tournament — and how far it actually will — can start once again. The No. 7 Spartans struggled offensively, defensively and every which way, losing 82-70 to Ohio State on Saturday in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Indianapolis — Senior guard Travis Walton said Minnesota probably had all of three sentences on freshman forward Draymond Green in its scouting report. Same with senior forward Marquise Gray, who had barely played the last eight games.
Indianapolis — Maybe it’s the pressure, maybe it’s the bright lights. Whatever the reason, Chris Allen sure likes playing in the postseason.

MSU sophomore guard Kalin Lucas has been crowned Big Ten Player of the Year, the conference announced Monday night. Lucas was a consensus pick for the award.
If you had told MSU men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo at the beginning of the season that the Spartans would win the Big Ten by four games, he’d have called you crazy. If you had told him that after doing that, the team still wouldn’t have met his expectations, he’d probably think you were insane.
It’s been an entire decade since its last conference championship, but the MSU men’s basketball team hasn’t forgotten how to party. The Spartans threw a party for the ages after their 62-51 season-ending victory over Purdue, combining an extravagant Senior Day celebration with a decorated banner-raising ceremony. After the final horn sounded, the public address announcer requested that fans stay seated for the post-game celebration.
