Sports are awesome, and I am a sport's freak, but at some point the budget deficit is too great and it is time to either pay your own way, like UD by a huge basketball income, or get donors to pay for it. Tuition and fees keep going up and cannot pay for Suzy and Johnny rowing and playing tennis.
Does not matter how much this cut saves. It, along with several others, add up to real dollars. As I was told early in my financial career by a seasoned veteran, "Watch your dollars, but most importantly, watch your pennies, because they add up to dollars before you know it."
Time for colleges to start lopping off some of their administrative bureaucracies and niceties.
