- yequalsx 16y agoAthletics are a money loser for all but 15 or so universities.
- desigooner 16y agoFor a lot many schools, the donations and fund raising increases as they have a better athletic presence. In the long run, athletics doesn't really lose money for the school. Athletics at a lot many schools are self-sustaining.. especially after cutting off a few sports that were a moneysink.
