My man, XU pays more than UC on a per student basis in fees to subsidize athletics when accounting the same way. And talk about lack of transparency. They aren’t required to disclose anything. At least any UC student could look at the multitude of sites that aggregate athletics data or even do a public records request and get answers. XU can tell their students to eff off.

They have more success/$ spent by having dumped FB.

Whoa, where'd those goalposts go? So your issue is the money being spent or the level of success?

You really think UC could just dump money in the basketball program by cutting football? Heck naw. UC would and should be expected to scale back the AD budget significantly by cutting football, and significantly reduce the university's contributions to the AD considering the lack of benefit you are getting by axing football.

And by the way, if you are making financial decisions based on a couple rounds of advancement in an inherently fickle tournament (which is literally all you can say they have us on in basketball), you are doing it wrong.
