Mike Anthony: Cutting UConn football isn’t the prudent move or simple solution

[TheDrifter75]

GCU and Creighton (last played in 1942) don't even have football teams.

And the Packers play college ball now.

IMO the most funny take away is the teams that are not represented.

Computer-literate fanbases.

I think there might be a negative correlation between computer literacy and football excellence...

But, more likely, it is the nancy boy non football fans who populate twitter....the under 30, ultimate frisbee and "The Hu" fans....etc

There are two basic ways to count scholarships. The opportunity cost of filling that spot with a paying student, or the actual incremental cost of supporting the academic portion (however you want to define that) for that student athlete. It doesn't actually cost that much to add one extra student to campus. A thousand yes, but it's not the same as the cost of full tuition.

The rest is just accounting, university overhead vs athletic department overhead.

As long as the cost for student athletes matches the appropriation documentation and is accounted for the same for athletic schollies as regular students...NCAA
