> Option 4: ban college sports. School should be about education, not sports.

Are you okay with paying higher tuition that would have otherwise been offset with TV, merchandising, ticket revenue and alumni donations?

Overall, sports drain money from the universities; they don't provide it.

About half of D1 football and men's basketball programs do make money, but even at those schools, the athletics program as a whole is still a money loser.
