Can we cap sports expenditure for schools already so this whole debacle is moot?
D3 mostly has it right, though even there schools will knowingly provide more sports than they can reasonably support and recruit athletes with unrealistic promises because they want the tuition.
At least that’s simple desperation though; it could happen with any perk that any school offers. At the D1 level, when you think about it, it’s really quite insane that we’ve combined the highest level of purely developmental sport with the second highest level of spectator sport (with commensurate amounts of money involved) and tied it all together as officially sanctioned “extracurricular activities” at our universities.
No other country in the world does that. It’s bonkers, and while I love college football , it makes it a hard system to defend.
