		triceratops on Sept 2, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why has college gotten so expensive in the last 30... Equal funding, yes, but not necessarily to the same sports. They're allowed to take into account interest and participation. Otherwise, wouldn't we see million-dollar coaches for women's college football teams too? (I actually don't know of any women's college football teams, for that matter)

I never said equal sports; but pretty much any women's sport doesn't draw in enough ticket sales to justify its existence based on profits alone.

Almost no college sports, men's or women's, are profitable. I don't understand what you're trying to say.
