does the physics dept turn a profit? Is the undergraduate business school or fine arts dept expected to generate millions in income each year?

Yes, yes, and yes. They are expected to do this at many schools. In the form of grants, or in numbers of students taking their classes, or alumni donations. And those are academic departments.

College sports, in theory, exist to allow students to have fun, get exercise, learn leadership, etc. I.e. the D3 model. What they have become in D1 is not that. So, why are universities paying huge amounts for these extra-curriculars that are not the money sports?
