"Since the NCAA won't let schools pay players, a huge amount of this money goes to coaches and facilities. NFL teams have elaborate stadiums with sky boxes and expensive training facilities. Well, so do the colleges. They've jumped into the arms race by dropping big cash on these facilities."
I chose this quote because it shows that even though these big sport programs are making huge amounts of money most of the money is not even going back into the university, it is going to coaches salaries, facilities, and travel expenses for the team. I feel antipathy that a portion of the money does deserve to go back into the university to help with the academic programs.
This article was about where money goes from college sports. It stated that a huge portion is going to giving coaches huge salaries, and making there facility state of the art. This report feels that the NCAA needs to start paying these robust college athletes for their participation, and although this is not my topic, I agree.
