That's atop a current agreement with ESPN for the women's basketball tournament, College World Series and 20 other NCAA championships worth $55 million over the next three years. Negotiations are underway for the rights to 60-plus other NCAA championships.[/B]

Thus, the NCAA gets 771 million a year from JUST the Men's Basketball Tournament from Turner/CBS and only 55 million for the Women's tournament and the College Baseball WS, College Softball WS.

Those sports even with the 55 million dollars when divided among the conferences DOES NOT allow schools to generate profits. I am sure their outlier programs in every sport that are profitable like UConn women's BB, Tennessee women's BB, LSU baseball, but schools won't keep those sports IMO if those kids are going to get full cost benefits because they are subsidized by P5 TV money and College Football/men's basketball.
