Yep! Think what Minneapolis lost with the cancellation of the NCAA Div I wrestling tournament, not to mention the losses due to "March Madness". Another one of concern is Williamsport, PA and the loss of the Little League World Series. I have been told that the total loss for greater Williamsport could total 30 million dollars. Another issue that really weighs upon me and I am sure a multitude of others are also concerned: If we have a football season will it be truly safe for us to travel around to the various games without fear of falling victim to somehow being infected. I am an 80 year old PSAC loyalist, and I try to extract as much from life as possible while I am still able. I sure certainly hope we PSAC fans don't have to forfeit going to Bloom, West Chester, K-town, et al, just as the great "beyond the mountains" fans don't have to forego doing the same out in PSAC West. And yes, I realize this possible happenstance pales in significance to what is currently on our plate. Stay safe and well, everybody!!

I guess he wasn't happy with being 6-5 every year.

The whole point is that if you look at the balance sheet for the entire college across the board, and then get deeper into athletics, it's not as profitable of a venture as you think. When I researched this all years ago, there were 12 schools the previous academic year who had athletic departments that turned profits (3 were in the big ten and I'm sure you could guess them). Everybody else just about breaks even or loses money. Without the money that comes in from football and men's basketball, most of these schools couldn't have fully functioning athletic departments.
You are correct about the SEC model. Alabama pumps every cent into football while sponsoring the minimum number of programs they are required to have based on Title 9.
To Boat's point, athletics absolutely raises attendance, thus generating money for the university in other ways. There's zero dispute in that whatsoever. What's not included in the "profits" is the private donations that are coming in. And I think that's my point in all of this. On the surface, athletic departments aren't as profitable as many people want to believe. It's not as cut and dry as saying "(INSERT BIG TEN FOOTBALL SCHOOL NAME HERE) brought in (INSERT # OF MILLIONS HERE) during the 2019 season." How much does it cost to keep all of those other programs running that are drains on the athletic department? Schools like Ohio State and Penn State will always be strong because they have large alumni bases who pump money into the athletic department. MOST schools don't have that. College athletics is a huge business, but it's not as simple to say that every school that plays sports is swimming in profits because of them, because they aren't.
