problem is most universities do not turn a profit, before paying players.
But why is that? Is it because they are paying position coaches over $1M/yr, building new athletic dinning halls, workout facilities, training facilities, and shite all over campus?
LSU has more than 100,000 seats in its stadium. If $10 from every ticket sold went to pay players, that would be over $1M/game or over $8M/yr.
The average face value of a ticket for an LSU game is around $100 and that’s not including all the TAF and university fees that are added on.
Colleges and universities have repeatedly spent money on stupid shite to show losses or near losses every year to dampen the calls to pay players for the last 20+ years.

No, those programs turn a profit.
It’s all the other the sports. Last year women’s basketball national championships lost $5 million. Golf, swimming, tennis, track, volleyball, soccer,cross country, gymnastics cost a lot.
