Football is a core feature of the collegiate experience universities are selling prospective students, current students, alumni, donors and fans. Football serves this and many more purposes, including subsidizing Olympic development & Olympic dreams.
An honor to be on @60Minutes!

“Every time there's an economic downturn, [college athletic programs] protect the core business, which is football, which means that other sports are on the chopping block,” says ASU’s Victoria Jackson. “There are other ways to trim the budget.” cbsn.ws/3lSxZIy

It's easy to roll your eyes at the Club World Cup's origin story and bemoan the chaotically congested football calendar... but I'm also finding it difficult not to be sucked in.This tournament will succeed in long term.@HistoryRunner and I checked out Juve vs Al Ain in DC

A very interesting development in a post-House settlement world.
A lot of schools will have to make decisions like this. Which sports do they want to be nationally competitive in — and which ones will they cut/support but with fewer resources than their peers?

The House settlement is not the end. It’s a step along the way, and a whole lot more work needs to be done to create better, optimized policy for the many different industries and missions operating under the umbrella of American college sports.
