I think the multi-million pay packages for football coaches more often than not makes the schools money

  This is largely a myth. Sports are a huge money sink for colleges. From https://www.bestcolleges.com/news/analysis/2020/11/20/do-college-sports-make-money/ https://www.bestcolleges.com/news/analysis/2020/11/20/do-col... : > In total, then, only 25 of the approximately 1,100 schools across 102 conferences in the NCAA made money on college sports last year

    Yes, that’s looking at the college’s entire academic department, which covers very unprofitable sports (in part because of mandates). Parent’s comment was about (massively popular) football.

    Sports lose money like movies lose money.
