We dropped 10 athletic programs a couple of months later...
I see they still have their big football camps.
The college sports world is wacky.

This made me think of something someone said about James Madison on here, because they have a major shortfall. I just stumbled upon this article. Geesh, lets milk the students even more. Like resort fees in Vegas
https://www.sportico.com/leagues/co...on-student-fees-athletics-million-1234771980/
"The mandatory student fee, which is included in those totals, is $5,662 for 2024. That fee covers a number of things—transportation services, student health initiatives, facility maintenance—but by far the biggest piece, $2,362 per student per year, is earmarked for funding athletics."
I think you will see programs get cut or fees like this start getting added. You know they would rather advertise "We haven't increased tuition in ___ years" , but "we did create this ____ fee and doubled room and board over the last decade"

Do you want to do a few things really well or offer a ton of average teams..
With Title IX you may have to cut more than you want to to make the numbers work

There are a lot of those small schools that bring in tons of athletes to pay the bills. Kids might make it a year before they realize they are paying the bills and not playing but then your 30 to 50,000 in the hole.
Title IX: "Now I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of College Athletics Programs"
A ton of truth in that statement. So obvious that is their business model and yet so many parents & students get suckered into that trap year after year. I won't name schools, but for many of them I don't know a single graduate. I know lots of kids that went to them to play sports their freshman and sophomore years, and that is about it.
That article is months old, so you are just mad because they didnt offer your son Theo?
