This is one of the arguments for splitting off the big money sports as for-profit enterprises that pay a franchise fee to the University that they use for branding purposes, as well as tuition for the classes that their athletes elect to take from their University brand partner ... they would likely pay substantially more to the Universities in franchise fees as a cost of doing business than they pay in "operating surpluses" as notionally not for profit enterprises.
I'd like to see that happen... Recently learned that Mark Cuban and some other entrepreneurs once considered trying to buy out Big Ten basketball. Would've been interesting. And more beneficial to the players.
