Mark Cuban is known for mouthing off. Typically it’s from courtside at a Dallas Mavericks basketball game (he owns the NBA team), from a leather armchair on the set of the hit ABC show Shark Tank (he’s a regular), or from the op-ed pages of the business press (where he often rails against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). His natural milieu isn’t a wonky Twitter debate about education policy. But on a recent Saturday night, when you’d think one of the country’s best-known billionaires might have more entertaining ways to spend his time, Mr. Cuban spent an hour on social media spouting his education views while sparring with Sara Goldrick-Rab, a sociology professor who advocates for free community college.
