One other factor to consider.....sports that get cut are likely to target those viewed as having privilege and are in the patriarchy. Made even easier if they are negative and have many slots associated with them.
Baseball in the Big 10 for example probably travels 8 to 10 times and mostly by air. That's 30+ people traveling for 3 or 4 days at a crack. If every person costs $500 per trip that's at least $15K. That means $200k travel budget or thereabouts. If they have 40 home dates they have to get $5,000 per game. That's 500 people at $10. It ain't happening.
This is tied to the other thread on P5 football.
It is very likely college sports are on the verge of the biggest alterations since the Supreme Court knocked down the NCAA on TV money in the 80's.
I predict less of them and a separation of football and maybe basketball.
