It will go toward reducing the deficit or if no deficit to the University general fund. There are 2 competing philosophies at work here. 1 is title IX with its focus on equal opportunity. The other is the idea that athletics should be self supporting. Both are actually relatively new. And they clash. Reality is that most sports are not income generators. And that goes even more broadly for women’s sports. There are probably a handful of women’s basketball programs that run in the black. I would guess maybe 5-6. And most barely. 10 years ago there was 1. UConn made $1 million mostly because of their tv deal with CPTV. Now with those lumped into the league deals I’m not sure they even do or how it gets counted. I’m guessing they are the big East women’s basketball league in any media deal. [/QUOTE]
