Thank you, Dude, for illuminating how the US public Universities might significantly lower their costs, possibly affording free tuition: by eliminating collegiate sports and their associated economic losses. wink

[If collegiate sports were truly a loss, would they continue? No. institutions embark on an upward spiral of optional investment, leveraging ticket sales to drive fundraising and expenditures on infrastructure such as field improvements, addition of practice fields, better lighting, new fencing, enhanced scoreboards, additional stadium seating, luxury box seating, press box upgrades, etc.]
