Two thoughts here.

1. College sports cash ≠ football exclusively.   80% of revenue for school themselves may be football, which is a hell of a lot, but that does not mean it's all football or nothing.   Second, as far as the NCAA goes, basketball pays 80% of the bills.  Something to think about.

2. The fact that FAU charges students $14 million a year in student fees and UNT is charging over $10 million in fees to support their bloated athletic budgets while building stadiums that look like that (and are usually half empty) is EXACTLY what is wrong with college sports.   Sports are definitely a marketing tool and help raise funds for colleges and universities and I'm not saying they need to make a profit, but there is a point where you have to say enough is enough.  Do these students really get 10-14 million dollars worth of value out of their athletics departments every year?   Maybe?   Someone else can answer that question.   I sit here skeptical though.
