College football isn't a cultural pillar in Sweden.

  Yes, but it's not like you can't just drop it. Quite few people play it anyway.

    >it's not like you can't just drop it In the US? No we absolutely can't. College football is practically a religion. Its cultural importance cannot be overstated. I don't care about it at all and never have but oh biy do other people ever. People's lives revolve around it.

      But surely the goal of university is letting people get a university level education-- become mathematicians, physicians, engineers, teachers etcetera, serving the need of society for diverse types of semi-experts. Furthermore, surely there is no need for additional facilities; and surely they don't need to be fancy.

      Many college football programs pay for themselves and fund other sports, though probably only the best ones.

  Power 5 programs pay for themselves, it's the other sports (besides basketball) that lose money.
