I've already had this argument with too many people, I'm not going to bother going through all my points over and over again.

The putative reason for sponsoring football at all has always been the positive effect it has in enhancing the academic mission of the university, not its athletic department.

Apparently, you are more capable than most of us in understanding how moving up to FBS positively affects the athletic department. Would that you were as capable of articulating those benefits for those of us who aren't "in the know" the way you are.
