How do small schools pay for sports without football?

How do small schools that font sponsor football pay for the rest of their athletic programs? If schools like LSU can’t have profitable track or gym programs now do tiny schools with a presumably smaller following without football to subsidize them?

Tuition, boosters and tax dollars

Many schools use sports programs as a net revenue generator by swindling kids to play DIII sports and pay full tuition.

Having competed in the sunbelt I always wondered this about UTA and UALR. I don’t know how they make it work.

Schools with football still have athletic fees. However I am not sure of the size of the athletic fee for football vs non football

I'm pretty sure football programs lose money for the majority of schools given the high expense of huge rosters/equipment, etc.
Small school athletic departments are likely more profitable without football, although not necessarily in the black.

I graduated from a small catholic university in Houston. Several years ago, the administration started men and women’s basketball on the NAIA level. New sports wee added for women eg volkeyball, soccer, and cross county. The men added soccer, cross country, and baseball. This university was granted division 3 status this fall (NCAA).
The problem is that tuition has increased about 850 % since 1985 with enrollment of 3200 students (3000 in 1985). Faculty are being laid off and the university cares more about their image in sports. There isn’t a football program to support. How these people are expecting a profit in sports is beyond me. Need to stick with academics.

Most university athletic programs operate at a loss as a whole
There are roughly 20 any given year that operate at a profit. Almost the entire Pac 12 and ACC operate at a loss.

Are sports the primary reason? Haven’t tuition increased hundreds of % everywhere since 1985?

Where are these DIII schools that are generating revenue?
I went to one. All tickets, live streams, etc. are free of charge, at least there. Granted, money was not an issue at that particular school.
Most DIII athletes, in my experience, play because they like it, for social reasons, or because their parents want them to to create some form of time management discipline. Also, at some high academic places, that’s the only way they could get in.

$40,000+ a year tuition.
The sports aren't generating revenue, the school is, who then funnels some of those dollars back to the athletic department.

Private high schools do that too.
Very little of that tuition is funneled back into the athletic department. You ever been inside a DIII athletic facility? They're on the same level as your standard high school, usually. Often worse.
Private donations (usually from athletic alumni foundations) also pay for a large portion of their athletic programs.
DIII is basically a high school sports extension for those that want that option.
