That's a great idea, but at many schools it wouldn't actually raise much money. It's not as though the idiot boosters will be just as happy to see their money going toward lab equipment as toward e.g. barbells.

While I'm not a huge fan of college football, at many schools the football teams are effectively profit centers due to media rights and merchandising.
