Finding someone who is serious about revenue sports only helps nonrevenue sports. If we can get the hockey team, basketball team, and football team all playing like powerhouses, we can afford all of the nonrevenue sports we want.

Agree. I consider the fact that some on this board are advocating eliminating non-revenue sports says more about the failures of the revenue sports than of how unnecessary non-revenue sports are to maintain.
