Ive said this for years: College football does not sustain itself. And it dilutes the mission of a school. The thing that irks me the most about college football, is that its a free AAA ball club for the NFL. Let the NFL develop its own pathway to the majors (God knows they have the money), rather than incurring the costs on the backs of students who attends universities for - dare I say it - an edumacation. UAB said in a release that it subsidizes $20 million of the athletic departments operating budget of some $30 million annually, and said both those numbers rank fifth in Conference USA. The university said the difference over the next five years would be an extra $49 million with football, including a projected $22 million needed for football facilities and upgrades.
