re: How many G5 and FCS schools give up CFB?

It would make sense if many schools (which have been losing money on athletics) used 2020 as the excuse to downsize the biggest programs.

Some of the most vocal alumni who love their football will scream but unless they want to make up shortfalls of millions of dollars at some point the money just isn't there. Supporting the high prestige sports like football obviously creates obligations to support an equal number of female athletes- so balancing a football budget really means balancing the budget for football, women's sports, facilities, cheerleaders, a school band, support staff, and coaches.

At some point that doesn't make sense. Especially in a time when student tuition and debt continue to skyrocket.
