No one outside of the power conferences is breaking even on football.

Everyone is losing their shirt and covering it with institutional support.

Why don't they stop? Just shut down the athletic programs and send everyone home.

Not all value is measured in a P&L.

Football, and sports more generally:
  • generate alumni donations
  • provide an entertainment outlet for students (that the university would otherwise need to fill in some other way)
  • gives the school free media attention, and thus attracts applications and interest
  • brings alumni back to campus, helping with engagement and ultimately donations
