If your NCAA school’s athletic program does not make a profit, it is time for you school to abolish their athletic program.

It is not the fault of the NCAA that the athletic program does not make a profit, it is not the fault of the University of Michigan or the University of Texas that your athletic program cannot sustain itself.

Let the NCAA collapse and let the surviving members play.

I don’t know why you are fixated on “profits” when all of these institutions are registered as not-for-profit organizations.

There will be no future in major college sports. There are several things working against it, to the point where I can easily see this unfolding:

1. The NCAA is replaced by a professional sports organization.
2. Colleges and universities shut down their sports programs.
3. The revenue from the sports programs is replaced by licensing deals with the professional sports teams. There will be a professional football team called “the Michigan Wolverines,” for example, that has no affiliation with the University of Michigan but is permitted to use the school’s name, mascot and trademarks by paying an annual licensing fee to the school.
4. Students at all these colleges and universities who still want to have sports teams will organize their own club teams like they did in the past (and many still do today).

THE END.
