[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bunch of stupid idiots. It's all about $$$. Revenue sports bring to the school via sponsors, TV, ads...etc. Schools with good sports teams will get more apps (and up the ranking). Athletics can be dumb as doorknobs but they still bring $.[/quote] That's only true for a small minority of programs. Even with revenue sports, most DI football teams lose money. NESAC schools probably have the highest concentration of student athletes (aside from service academies), and[b] I challenge you to find any source of revenue associated with Bowdoin field hockey.[/b] [/quote] And guess which sports gets the ax when school runs out of money? Answer --> the ones that bring in no revenue. Remember about 10-15 years ago, UMD canceled its swiming team for the same reason? [/quote] No NESAC sports bring in any revenue. MD cut sports because their athletic department thought there were Ohio State and spent like it. [/quote]
