For decades now colleges have continued to use the same outdated structure. With tuition and the price of living on the rise it’s kind of unrealistic for people to keep up with their classes. Some students have to pick up two jobs just to survive and they’re still expected to excel in class. Attendance rates are steadily dropping and graduation rates are plummeting. Calling this a crisis would be a bit dramatic but the fact that anybody who wants to pursue a higher education has to deal with this outdated system is a sad pill to swallow.

Then came a man that spit that pill right out. Jonah Blackwood; professional hunter turned uber-rich TV personality/businessman never had the chance to go to college. His young adult life was spent fighting bears and backpacking the rainforest. He wasn’t aware of the typical college experience to say the least. That changed when he sent his son off to college. Christmas break eventually came and his son asked Jonah if his friend could stay there for the holidays. Being the generous man he was, he accepted. Jonah then soon found out the boy wasn’t even his son’s friend. The young man was a gifted student whose family lived across the country. Christmas was the only time he got to see them but he wouldn’t make it this year. He had to sell his car for money to live on then begged Jonah’s son for a place to stay. Jonah was furious at this story. He vowed to himself that he wouldn’t sit there and let anybody go through what this young man went through. On that day, he decided he would build and run the greatest college on the planet.

The philanthropist got right to work planning on how he could make a better learning and living environment for students. He sighed and leaned back in his leopard skin chair he made himself. His baby blue eyes wandered throughout his office and then landed on a framed picture of one of his private islands. An idea popped into his head and he decided to build his dream on said private island. He quickly found a pair of downers and production began later that year. While the school was being built he assembled a cast of the revered professors on the planet. Growing up an athlete himself, he didn’t cop out on the coaches either.
