<p>*To summarize again: Big-time football programs MAKE a lot of money for schools</p>
<p>To summarize again: They cook the books. They report revenue, but they don’t count costs. *</p>
<p>Big time football doesn’t have to “cook the books”. Do you really think that a college football team is costing a school - say - $100M per year?

ESPN, CBS Sports, and local channels are paying big bucks to these big football schools to broadcast their games.</p>
