OP understands neither decadence nor 'state.' A 'state' implies a temporary or transient condition of existence ('state of shock' 'state of the Union'); decadence means moral decay or cultural decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury.
He needs to highlight the contrast better; 'high food prices for students but free meals for basketball players; no internet for the general students but the coaches get high-speed internet; no social events for commuters but hourly massages for the athletes. You have to show basic decency is being neglected for excess for pleasure in another area.
Sounds like the real state of affairs is one of apathy by the university towards the students needs according to this person.
