Are you saying football brings in enough $$ through gate admission to finance football???

If not for football, most schools couldn't have baseball, softball, volleyball, etc. Football is the lifeline to all other sports.

Gat admission isn't the half of it. You think fundraising and boosters are important? Without football, most of your boosters at most schools would be gone. Football in one form or another is essential for all sports.
