[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 258560, member: 2957"] Harvard did a study a few years on the economic impact of football programs. The executive summary is basically that a successful program increases student application count, improves quality of student (higher ACT scores), and is a net positive to the university. One of the big problems for many though is the high fixed costs to run a program. Major universities like Alabama have 28K students and many times that to support a program; it's more difficult to spread fixed costs over a smaller count. Still, it's better to be a winner than not.
