Keep in mind, at least as of now, you must sponsor 16 sports to be “division 1”. Who knows where that winds up in the future but there is also a huge amount of tuition revenue generated through these “non-revenue” sports.
Something like tennis as an example brings in a bunch of international students who pay tuition to UConn with little to no overhead cost on an annual basis. So while the athletic department may show -$100k for tennis or whatever, if 10 people are all paying ~$50k in tuition money that’s net $400k revenue for UConn as a school
