Hmm....The govt is happy with dropping men’s non-revenue sports.

Does women’s softball make a profit anywhere? ESPN televises a few games anyway - it draws as many viewers as NHL; maybe more.

Women’s basketball makes a profit at a handful of schools...not enough to compete with the men though.

lets all remember that colleges, 99.9% getting some govt aide, are first and foremost for ACADEMICS with debate and band and sports and drama "extras"....

in that vein, no college nor university can be honest in running the sports racket by supporting and paying for big football or basketball...

..I don't care if they make the supposed "profit"...

"profit" is not their mission....

and since all sports pretty much take a lot of time whether it be womens volleyball or mens golf, then these people deserve to be paid....

if it keeps going like this, I will drop my season tickets...
