per Pat:
Men's basketball and football should celebrate the ability to pay for athletic opportunity for hundreds of students in myriad men’s and women’s sports, rather than try to figure out how to spend more and more of those millions on themselves.
The longtime Big Ten members received a check for $32 million from the league office for their share of 2014-15 revenue. Almost all of this is based on football and men’s basketball.
Those programs should celebrate the ability to pay for athletic opportunity for hundreds of students in myriad men’s and women’s sports, rather than try to figure out how to spend more and more of those millions on themselves.
Even at a place as large as the Twin Cities campus, athletics should be a communal activity. As the Big Ten money rolls in, the initiative at the university should be, “We have the resources to add women’s lacrosse,’’ not, “We might have to make cuts elsewhere to put even more back into football and men’s basketball.’’
