[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 832742, member: 198"] It's not lost revenue for the school, it's lost revenue for the Athletic Association, which is a wholely separate organization. In the ultimate scheme of things, people donate millions of dollars to their school's athletic organization for pride. In HS the Booster Club is there to support the teams because there's a strong tie to the kids playing. In college, the tie is to the name on the front of the jersey, not the back. The success or lack of success on the football team has no bearing on the academic side of GT. Many other schools, like Clemson or Alabama, it does. We're already turning away merit scholar-level kids, these other schools aren't. They're trying to attract kids to their schools, so the athletics is a big help. If college athletics were to end today, schools like GT, UVA, Stanford, NW, Vanderbilt, etc. would not see a noticeable change in their admissions. At most every state school, you'd probably see a precipitous drop in out-of-state matriculation. [/QUOTE]
