I'm ok with cutting the college emphasis on sports. I don't even like college football. The school from which i got my undergrad degree never had a football team. Neither did 2 of the 3 schools from which i obtained advanced degrees.

So, i've got no dog in the hunt.

Also, look at the title of my first post on this topic. It's titled "Sort Of"

Meaning that the post to which i replied in which it was stated that football programs are a loss center, is essentially true, but not completely.

Not sure what your objection is with me.
