The pay (i.e. scholarship) is the same now as it was in like the 80s right? Minus the billion dollar TV deals. So the schools are making tons more but the athlete pay is unchanged. How is that reasonable?
And the other non-revenue sports still existed back then as scholarship sports, so I’m unmoved by the excuse that football is needed to subsidize them.
When I started at Wake in the 80's there was no women's soccer and no women's volleyball and the facilities were absolute junk.
