"NIU football is the only revenue generator."
Yes, football does bring in revenue. Does the total revenue cover the cost of football operations? No way, show us the data.

I didn't see a comment made that football covers its costs or produces a profit, only that it generates revenue. And it may be that football is not the only revenue generator. I don't have the figures. But I seriously doubt any NIU sport covers its own costs. If that were required, there would be no athletic program at NIU.

A much larger concern is student athletic fees, which provide 30-35% of the athletic budget. Then there's the subsidy from the university, being hit with financial impacts from the pandemic. Those two together are the biggest sources of a.dept. revenue.

Recall STF's statement that Northern needed the $1.6 million payday from the 2018 Florida State game to avoid big cuts and lost jobs. That was pre-Covid-19.
