Exactly.
And it’s not like NIL money is coming from the universities…
It also makes no sense that college sports are expected to turn a profit. I mean, great if they do, but does the physics dept turn a profit? Is the undergraduate business school or fine arts dept expected to generate millions in income each year?
Esp if the players are expected to be students first, athletes second, measuring a college sport based on its ability to generate profits makes no sense.

I benefited from the D1 athletic scholarship model. Both kids benefitted. But what started out as a couple of Princeton and Rutgers guys arguing in a bar over beers has turned into an absurd, corrupt model.
