re: UNO could lose athletics

my question is the article says that they can't support DI athletics without the funds, does that mean they would drop down or end sports all together?

What would dropping down do? That wouldn't save any money, would it? They don't have a football program, which at most schools is the only financially "black" sport. All others are in the red. I would assume that at LSU, football supports many of the other sports that LSU is involved in.

I don't think that most LSU fans understand the situation that many small schools around the country face. If they don't have a football program or have state monies pouring into it then most can't survive financially.

I would like to see how much money UNO is losing by running an athletic department. Most people just assume that schools make money by having athletics, but that just isn't the case at some smaller D1 schools.
