Why should college be only for academic study? Besides, not all students are on a sports scholarship. Rather than eliminating college sports altogether, the better solution would be to reform how scholarship students are treated.
I’m pretty sure at least at some schools the cost for improved facilities is paid for by revenue from those programs, so they are not the loss leaders you’re making them out to be. In any case, college sports are huge moneymakers so they’re not going anywhere.
