While I understand your point, even back in those days, "doing well" for most of them still meant losing money in athletics and having their department subsidized by the school. Now the TV contracts (of those leagues) are so big that some football programs subsidize the whole athletic department and still have enough to give money back to the school to keep the academicians quiet.Ray wrote:But those leagues go back well over 50 yrs. & mostly have done a good job even before widespread TV.Roller wrote:That's because they've formed an illegal trust, and have been allowed to get away with it.Ray wrote:SEC, BIG, PAC & BIG 12 dominate.
