This is pre-pandemic (2019), but it says: "There are 299 Division I baseball programs. Though specific figures were not available, an NCAA spokesman estimated less than 10% of them turn a profit." That would be fewer than 30.

Thanks for the article @anotherparent.

I'd give a buffalo nickel to know who & how those 30 programs are turning a profit. My first inclination was the P5 schools but that may not be the case as the article mentioned Florida, Texas Tech and others clearly in the red while having success getting to the CWS.

The article was written (2020) a few years ago before all the recent changes for player mobility and compensation which probably adds to the ledger's expense column for present day programs.

Again, I'd like to know the formula for turning a profit in D1 college baseball. It appears to be very elusive, but some folks have figured it out.
