Can you provide some references for the general and school-specific claims you’ve made? The specific example of Rutgers is great but the broader claims definitely deserve some supporting evidence.

Off the top of my head, I cannot. I just know the Rutgers number because I went there and was defending our new head coach's salary (which was relatively small - 10/14 in the Big 10 conference).

The most heavily subsidized accusation is often said, so I looked it up on Rutger's budget report. It's there and within the past two years, it has been around 10 million, minus tuition waivers that I described above.

The other comment responder's NCAA report is good, but again, it's wrong to draw conclusions without knowing what those terms are. There's definitely good expenses for academics on both the athletic department side and the university side.
