How to talk to my dad about this?

My brother is 18. He doesnt do anything ALL DAY besides, sit in his room on the computer. He did terrible in high school and barely graduated. He tells my dad that he got accepted into a university (BS I know) and he says he doesnt wanna go to a community college (one of the best in the country) anymore. He simply wants to go to the university because his GF goes there. Hes never had a job, doesnt have his permit etc etc. My dad is paying for his college and for some reason thinks he has to. He wants to help him be successful which is FINE, but he cant even take care of himself. I tell my dad he cant just baby him through life, especially when we're low on money atm. He still complains to my dad about my dad not being able to support him about the university and my dad is now heartbroken because he said that. And hes LUCKY my dad is even paying for his stuff. My brother is just sitting around banking on my parents, and trying to have everything he wants. He's a total idiot. Im doing excellent in school. It hurts me to see my brother bring my dad down like that, because he is a damn good father.
Ive been trying to convince my dad to stop paying for his stuff.
My dad doesnt seem to listen. He complains about how my brother complains, but really my dad is putting himself in this position.
We all feel my brother needs to pick his sad life up, but he just DOESNT wanna do anything. Is there anything you suggest I do, to confront him? Anything I should talk to my dad about?
Thanks!
