Do colleges make or lose money on college football?

Monday, June 14th, 2010

I saw three big games in college football today. One was Virginia Tech vs. Miami. As a Virginia taxpayer, I can know if my taxes are paying for this football at public universities. I wonder if maybe the big, successful schools make money in football, but what about small schools that do not attract as many spectators, and probably not for many television contracts or payments. Also have the super big college football basketball and share the wealth with other schools? In short, the taxpayers pay for all this fun?
