Maybe! You'd have to look at the numbers. I remember the last time someone showed me numbers, actually most of the money went into core operations cost to offset money that the state used to contribute. Though I think in this particular case, for my particular institution, the University could totally mitigate all financial cost to graduate students by cutting the subsidy the University gives to the athletics programs (about 15% of the athletics budget is paid for by the students in the form of fees the students are assessed on top of their tuition).
