The math will always be bad for most private schools because as Mark and others have mentioned above, you're leveraging two sports to fund 20 others. It's why fans are asked to donate and support. If we were just trying to breakeven on football and basketball, you can do that with TV contracts and ticket revenue. That's the issue and why it's not the same as pros. Something HAS to give -- I'd argue that non-rev sports should be funded by the university, not the ADs office anymore. It's just not practical. And if you don't see the benefit of funding those sports, exclude football and basketball from Title 9 requirements. [/QUOTE]
