The report is from the NCAA and painted in the best way it possibly could be. And it still shows 20% of athletics income is from direct institutional support. That’s not tuition waivers showing up as revenue on the balance sheet.
Athletics is a money losing endeavor for virtually every college in the nation.
Whether money losing athletics is a net benefit for colleges is an attempt at reframing the argument. There are lots of ways to spend money that may be net positive but that isn’t what is being discussed.
At least 99% of colleges could unequivocally save money by getting rid of their athletic departments.
- snapetom 7y agoYou're deliberately choosing to ignore what is "direct institutional support" and using your own belief as to what it is. Tuition waivers most certainly are a component of that, and very often, a very large component.
- hurricanetc 7y agoI am not ignoring it. I'm stating exactly what the NCAA says that it is. You are trying to adjust the definition to fit your argument with an unsourced article from Forbes and assuming that the NCAA is using a methodology that it clearly states it is not.
