You do realized that those "millions" are only accurate for a very small handful of universities...most of the 300+ NCAA D1 programs lose money...and what money they do make subsidizes the other 10-20 sports that lose money....particularly women's sports. Only a few of the programs, overall, are profitable.

Yep, so the tennis players and wrestlers should be paying the football and basketball players.

I had FLA and ODU winning, but that's about to get negated by Villanova's disappearing act.

Fortunately, I didn't have ND winning any more games after this, same for FL. Nova, OTOH....

Started out 0-1 like most folks. Wanted FL but picked BYU. Baylor better get in in gear though.
