Thanks for the link. That guy sure is a dumbass. He uses a lot of his own opinion, asks some stupid questions that can easily be answered and then tosses out a table with some numbers that he completely misuses and doesn't understand what it says. Brilliant. The things he misses are that it is fact that in 2008 22 FBS athletic departments made money, in 2009 it went down to 14 and in 2011 it went up a little but I forget the number. Every other one of the 120 schools lost money on athletics. It is also a fact that football and sometimes basketball to an extent, funds every other sport in an atletic department, men and women. Since he wants to only look at profit of a football/basketball program and say "SEE", he must be proposing that schools drop all other sports. The dumbass doesn't even realize that EVERY single school of the 300+ he mentions lost money if they did not have a football program. 100%. I wonder what idiotic agenda that idiot has.

I've got an idea that will make the guy happy without paying anyone. Lets make going to college what is was intended to be. Lets have the same exact admission standards for everyone, lets not allow any recruiting, get rid of boosters, lets dump all the TV contracts and outrageous facilities and then lets just have tryouts at the school each year just like HS. The coaches would be the phys ed teachers (or equivalent) with a little extra compensation. For any kid that has no interest in an education, let them declare right out of HS for the NFL and NBA. If you want to be a college student and get an education, go to college. If you don't, don't. Problem solved.
