Michigan football brings in $82 million on $23 million in expenses. It’s one of the most profitable business units in college sports.

No tax dollars.

You picked a bad example. None of what you’re complaining about happens here.

Ugh. It’s a government run business. Yay fascism! In the end, it costs much ,ore than it brings in. College costs aren’t going up for the heck of it! Watch their tuition rise dramatically simply because of the notoriety that this brings. Tax payer dollars will be moved from the football program to the women’s water polo and coed darts teams. The tax payer dollars will still be spent. The football program might bring in more than it spends, but the earmarked taxpayer dollars will still be spent somewhere.
