People like to pick on WCBB, yet; on average only 20 colleges/universities a year (out of the thousands in the US with athletic departments) actually turn a profit as a whole, at least based on the numbers most recently published between 2010 & 2016. I find it short sighted and kind of amateur of journalists to keep writing the same story without including the fact that 65%+ of men's basketball teams don't make money either.

Everyone knows football pays the bills and at some universities MCBB can be counted on regularly. Why focus so much on WCBB and it's inability to turn a profit regularly? Most schools also have swimming, gymnastics, lacrosse, baseball, softball, wrestling and plenty of other sports that aren't expected to and never will turn a profit why not include them in the conversation? I just find it real odd that that same story keeps being written. If there is one thing you can count on with WCBB news.... it is about as lazy as you can get.
