College sports and top academic US universities

[CollegeNerd67]

Here’s a recent thread that covers many of the same reasons why collegiate sports are here to stay.

Ready to do away with almost all College Sports

I first want to say I 100% support Title IX and it should stay. That being said almost all college sports are just a drain on funds. I propose that sports that can’t support themselves in terms of revenue and expenses then they should be disbanded. Again I support Title IX so most likely there will be some sports that can’t breakeven. Overall I just don’t see how having a swim team, field hockey, lacrosse team helps the majority of the student body. Let’s face it the majority of students who go to watch these games/matches are just friends of the athletes. The average student gets little to no benefit from these sports. Also at elite schools athletes get preferential admissions.
