Why do you feel the need to submit your opinion when you have no knowledge of the topic at hand? To be a member of Division 1, an institution is required to sponsor a minimum number of intercollegiate varsity sports. The minimum is a lot damn more than the four you have suggested.

Exactly!
The number used to be 14 sports.........I assume it's still that number. Which gets back to what I'd said in my earlier post.....................collegiate sports do not exist to make money. It just so happens that football makes money as a college sport. If that weren't the case, the NCAA would not require the 14 sports to be Division I. They'd just say,"have enough men and women athletes to fulfill Title IX". So, that leads me to believe that college sports exist for some other reason(s) other than making money........................or in the very least, the NCAA sees some worth of college sports OUTSIDE OF, their money making possibilities.

As LSU fans, we shouldn't be concerned what teams "make money". It's not like its costing us anything anyway, other than the price of a ticket.
