24 Division 1 schools are making money on Sports.

[candycorn]

There are 50 states and most of those State universities are Div I. So 26 are losing money on athletics….

In 41 of the 50 States, the College Football coach was the highest paid state employee.

Thank Title IX bullshit. Cost prohibitive sports forced into existence in the name of gender equity drain resources.

Yeah, all of those new Volleyball stadiums being built are a BIG drain.

Parallel women's sports have to be created for every mens sport that exists. The men's sports that generate revenue have to carry the other sports. Sports that may generate revenue have to take a backseat to gender equality bullshit.
Left wing sexist incompetence manifesting itself.

This single isolated factoid doesn't mean much.

In 2008 there were people complaining that Nick Saban made too much money as the head coach at the University of Alabama. He was being paid a package that added up to $4 million per year. By the 8th game of the 2008 season, the University of Alabama had made $32 million from the merchandising. The higher paid coaches produce.

It is not done by states. There are 351 NCAA Div I schools. Not all have football programs.

Sports are a valuable part of the college experience. It's positive and enforces ideals like hard work, sacrifice, perseverance and awards based on performance & merit.

Basically to 180 opposite of what the academic side teaches.

Kids who play sports in college are better prepared for the real world on average than those who don't these days.

There are no Safe Spaces in the Alabama or Michigan football complexes.

Many, if not most, State universities (university of Texas for example), have football programs

Is that typical? No.

Not true. It's a numbers game to be sure. If you have a money losing football team (as the overwhelming majority of college football teams do) yes you must give women's sports that many slots to lose money

True. If I am not mistaken there are 126 NCAA Div I schools with football programs.

No, it is not typical. But it does show what CAN be done.

A successful athletic program translates to increased student counts, increased donations from alumni, and increased visibility in all phases of the university's endeavors.

Reser stadium in Corvallis has a capacity of 45,000. The sell tickets for $25 and up. They use the stadium 6 times a year.

The population of Corvallis is 50,000.

The school makes money on a football franchise which hasn't made a winning season since 1947

You need to balance every mens sport with a women's sport. The money makers have to subsidize these sports. In return, potential money making men's sports are disbanded or reduced to club level in order to accommodate women's sports. All in the name of pretending that women are the same as men.

Part of the problem too, is the way the numbers are viewed. If a single sports program pays for the rest of the athletic dept endeavors, but doesn't have money left after that, it shows no profit. This, despite the fact that it covers other programs.

That's the given. The problem is that Title IX forces inefficient use of those funds. All in the name of gender equality (which is a misnomer).
