Universities can be starved into non-existence. Stop supporting your alma mater, in all areas. Athletics included.
Not long ago, I came across an article that discussed how fewer and fewer men are attending university and instead opting for trade schools, community college, or apprenticeships that make them more practically skilled and employable compared to the more and more women going to university. By being that more practically skilled and thus more employable, the men have that advantage over the many women who opted for university.
