Editorial: athletics value questioned as deficits rise
The piece argues rising college athletic subsidies and slowing revenue growth reflect broader budget strains. It notes only 14 of 120 FBS schools broke even in 2009, with subsidies up from 8 to over 10 million, while ticket sales and media revenue slowed. It questions whether funds should fund athletic programs operating in the red. Interim NCAA President Jim Isch is cited regarding institutional investment choices.
