Message: [QUOTE="Kowalski, post: 4766298, member: 11498"] The large majority of athletic programs run at a deficit in the tens of $millions. The revenue generated by a select few sports is not even close to the full story. For most programs, revenue generating sports only partially offset the costs of running other sports. And the coaches were never expected to be volunteers. They’re professionals and schools wisely invest in them to generate revenue & successfully coach students/teams. College sports is supposed to be amateur athletics - not a professional sports league. There was nothing wrong with that and it benefitted the athletes most of all. Unlimited NIL threatens the existence of it & I think the NCAA should put guardrails on it for eligibility. For those that think it’s unfair, find a pro sports league that’ll pay the athletes straight out of high school. That’s not what college sports is. [/QUOTE]
