Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 5044444, member: 1559"] Personally, I think PE investing in college athletics is a bad idea. But, there is a play for PE to make money of they are allowed to. At most P4 schools, the football program makes money and with proper investment and management could make more money. The money drain for athletic departments comes from the other sports and administrative overhead. So, if you could cut sports and administrative overhead, PE could make a return on investment. Let's say the athletic department became football, men's and women's basketball with the appropriate number of women's scholarships (Title IX) along with cutting administrative bloat and most AD's make money. Then the rest of the sports either self fund, are funded separately by the university, or become club sports. I'm not advocating for the above, but maybe some school may try it. [/QUOTE]
