How many universities have “high-performing football programs” in a single season?

How many universities have “high-performing football programs” over five years?

How many universities have “high-performing football programs” year-after-year-after-year-after-year?

How many of those “high-performing” football programs generate profits? How many share profits with the academic side of the University?

What is the main point of your argument?

I’ve read your posts.

You are not arguing in good faith.

Athletics DOES NOT produce MONEY to fund the academic side of the university/college. It doesn’t.

Does a national championship in football or Men’s basketball help a D1 school raise money? Yes it does.

Does it generate enough money to fund the university for a year? No.

Let’s go long-term.

How does the University of Alabama’s endowment compare to the University of Chicago’s?

Football makes money. Athletics as a whole do not, because football (and to some extent men's basketball) subsidize the other 19 sports that cost far more than they bring in. If money is your concern, then you should be going after field hockey, soccer, wrestling, etc..

At how many D1 schools does football make money?

Well, at our own school:

Football and men’s basketball were the only sports to turn profits. The football program reported nearly $67 million in revenue against $40 million in expenses, while men’s basketball reported $32 million in revenue against $13.4 million in expenses.

Football programs ARE NOT generating substantial funds for academic programs .
Athletics are a cost at universities; they aren’t profit-generating.

Football generates tens of millions in profits for the University of North Carolina each year. See above. Perhaps you should take up your beef with the soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey teams.

Your first point is patently wrong.
Your second point is also wrong, Texas this past year is an counterexample. But, I do agree that most definitely operate at a negative.

Pains me to poast this, but the Woofies are going to be really good next year IF Bailey decides to return for next season. Smothers is hitting the portal, but part of me wants Bailey to return so that I have hope that loyalty may still remain for players at certain P4 programs that are not powerhouses. If Smothers and Bailey both portal, makes me wonder just what chance UNC will have of retaining top players as opposed to them getting poached by powerhouses.
Also pains me to see how the Woofies and Heels have completely different trajectories for their programs...
