[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools make money off of sports programs overall.  Women's soccer maybe not, but it's a net revenue stream for most colleges. [/quote]

No, it isn’t. There is not near enough revenue generated for these sports to cover the costs. Hence why many schools now charge “athletic fees” to the students. They are trying to cover the expenditures. Again, with the exception of football and men’s b-ball. [/quote]

It’s not about covering the costs. It’s about protecting the federal revenue stream. If net positive revenue sports programs can’t offset the federal subsidies, a university will provide additional sports to ensure the federal money isn’t jeopardized. Most colleges would collapse without the federal loan program. Athletic fees aren’t connected to sports, they are connected to gym and recreational facilities. Men’s football and b-ball aren’t as lucrative as Uncle Sam.[/quote]

Athletic fees are connected to sports, especially in Virginia. Do some research. However, your point about schools having sports to keep federal funding coming in might be valid but I’d need to do some research myself. [/quote]
