[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Athletics exist because there is money to be made in college sports. [/quote] Not in college sports. In big time football and mens basketball. You think the LAX team, the squash team and the diving team make money for a college? Not revenue sports are already being cut. Big time. And given the demographic cliff, the interest in supporting low income and first gen students the out of control costs that make private colleges impossible for more and more kids and the need to balance the budget, carrying a squash or water polo Texan (while charging above $80k a year) is going to become less frequent. https://theconversation.com/colleges-are-eliminating-sports-teams-and-runners-and-golfers-are-paying-more-of-a-price-than-football-or-basketball-players-148965 https://www.washingtonian.com/2020/07/31/george-washington-university-cuts-7-athletic-programs-citing-pandemic/ (7 sports at GW, $200M saved)[/quote]
