Message: [QUOTE="David 76, post: 4318007, member: 4232"] I think some people are confusing the revenue of a college's athletic department with the NCAA's money. Most all colleges Athletic Departments lose money. Including UConn and its men's basketball. These budgets pay for non-profit revenue sports. Not the ncaa. You could ask why students and parents have to pay for the basketball and football programs at UConn if fairness is your real concern. On the almost $1billion that the NCAA makes off the tournament they will pay $0 in taxes unlike a business. You could ask if that is fair. You could ask why the women's national soccer team has brought in more money than the men and been paid less. They will now split the pot with with the men. Same as NCAA basketball except the women produce more revenue in that situation. I haven't heard anyone jumping up to say the women's team is getting screwed. You may think women's sports have no value. I disagree. But our opinions dont matter. There is a law protects their rights. [/QUOTE]
