What i already know about my topic

Some things i already know about my topic question, "To what level should collegiate sports be funded? What is their relationship to academics?", are that universitys think it is really important to have succsful sport programs and they are willing to go the extra and pay more to get it. I know that good college coaches are getting more of a pay raise now than they have ever before because the university wants to do whatever to keep the school winning. I know that many faculty of big sport programs are taking a cut to make up for money that has gone to sports. Schools charge a fee which help pay only for sport programs and then they also do fundraising, donations, money they make off of ticket sales, and a small amount of NCAA revenues to pay for the remaining costs. Teams have hurt from the struggling economy, but schools have taken money out of academic budgeting to help pay for the loss revenue. But, also with the truggling economy, schools have postponed rebuilding of new areana's and not going all out like they have been.
