Answer: Their fellow non sports playing students who pay a fee. So now those sports playing students should get more $$$$ for playing sports and the non sports students should pay higher fees out of their pockets?

Good stuff. This data and it is a QUOTE from the best colleges link is very telling:

"The majority of universities in the nation’s top athletic conferences lost money through their sports programs to the tune of approximately $16 million each."

"Of the 125 FCS schools, all reported a negative net generated revenue in 2019, with a median loss of $14.3 million per institution.

Finally, Division I includes 97 schools without football programs. All of them had a negative net revenue in 2019, with a median loss of $14.4 million. And not one college in the NCAA's Division II or III saw their revenues exceed expenses that year.

In total, then, only 25 of the approximately 1,100 schools across 102 conferences in the NCAA made money on college sports last year. "

BOTTOM LINE AND THIS SHOULD END ALL DEBATES. Almost all schools in FBS, FCS, D-II, D-III, etc. and even D-I schools withOUT FB lost money.

P.S. I need a red font for this post.
