I'm not a big fan of sports myself, but an argument that often gets used is that college teams (particularly when they do well) cause alumni to be more generous in giving to their schools. I don't think any school has really done the research to show that this is the case, though.
- a2tech 3y agoI'd love to see that broken down in a fair way. I've heard that a lot as well, but I've never seen any data. It seems like the athletic programs at these schools directly impact a few hundred (ish) kids that are actually in the big sports, and otherwise exist as a machine that enriches the people running the athletic program.
