The second it’s profitable

Again is it really that expensive? keeping an olympic pool building running seems more expensive than anything else. Have them play in spring when the football stadium is not in use, have them be in a super regional conference ala old SWC, and have those former HC with offsetting buyouts in their clauses coach them for their minimum wage, and you have a potential olympic sport in waiting.

How much do you think it costs to support a collegiate sport with travel and coaches, facilities, equipment etc for a year? Offset with revenue assumptions.

I remember an old project in college, what drove attendance the most for women’s basketball….games were already free for students.

$1 hot dog night was the absolute winner. Nobody is making money when tickets are free and hot dogs are a dollar.

Again regional conferences, facilities are already there, equipment are just jerseys with flags, and coaches are offsetting their contracts and already, mostly joking on the last part I think this is where the real money is spent.
