Agreed. All the P5 AD's make money. A ton of it. Even Rutgers.

They find ways to get that money back to the Us. And that doesn't even count the marketing athletics provides these schools. Forbes did an article about it. There's a few reasons the numbers are calculated and figured the way they are. It's beneficial to describe athletics as costing the schools money.

This has been a part of my argument about why schools should pay players of revenue sports.

I do think the ACC schools are still behind most other P5 schools, so those student fees are needed to keep up. A nice ACC network could about cover the student fees amount.
