at least football generates income...the rest of academia is funded by inflated tuition and taxpayer money.

From the article:

"If the vast majority of major college football programs made money, the argument to ban football might be a more precarious one. But too many of them don't—to the detriment of academic budgets at all too many schools. According to the NCAA, 43% of the 120 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision lost money on their programs."
