I would bet the majority of athletic programs are not actually profitable. Once it becomes widely known, it is going to be very hard to justify keeping expensive sports at most colleges. I think most go back to just Olympic sports and a scholarship and a small stipend will be paid to those players. The "big three" (basketball, football, and baseball) will need to get spun into their own league where they will find out that there is no market or interest when the affiliation with the colleges goes away. Who is going to watch the Austin Roughriders play the College Station Raging Farmers?
