Reply #40: Start with the fact that

[Pithlet]

most D-1 football and men's basketball programs have facilities that are envied by professional teams, and in most of those cases, those facilities are not shared with the other athletes. You could add the fact that those programs very often suck from the general fund because their facilities are used once a year for some other student activity, such as a graduation, and are therefore "general" purpose. You could move on to the enormous recruiting budgets that those programs receive. I can go on and on. But, the simple fact is, there is almost no control at the D-1 level of those programs and their expenses.
