As of 8:10am this morning one of the finer programs in the country is lost due to "budgetary" problems.
No one saw it coming and they just recently signed some top level recruits that gave them one of the top 3 recruiting classes in the country.
To say that football is a revenue producing sport is WRONG at almost all schools.I was told by a semi-reliable source that 6 Div 1 teams actually made money.Yes it is "prestigious" to have a good FB team,but by the time you pay for everything it takes to compete in FB it loses money.Add in the fact that many of the football players(and even more of the basketball players) don't really want to be in college and the whole situation becomes obscene.Maybe this has something to do with top college swimming coaches going back to clubs.
