Why do you feel this way?

Lot of programs are spending more on football now and going into debt, literally.  So they are looking at what to cut in other sports to make up some of the difference.

Arkansas dropping tennis is a good example - quote from an article "The math didn’t work for the Razorbacks anymore. They spent a combined $2.35 million on the two teams in the 2025 fiscal year; the men’s team generated $3,202 in revenue and the women $82."  

Yep, they backed away from doing this after the uproar, but it illustrates the problems with funding these other sports using funds mostly generated by football.  $2.3 million will buy you a decent QB or a couple of transfer WRs or multiple solid linemen probably.

Aside - reading about his I saw 61% of all scholarship tennis players were from other countries.  Guessing golf isn't too far behind.  Easier to justify cutting if so much of the benefits are going to non-Americans I guess.

Good information.  I had no idea about Arkansas.

I wasn’t necessarily clear.  My question was more about CJs comment than the tweet.  Are we saying the NCAA is holding it all together?
