What are some difficulties in making the D1 FBS "business plan" work? How can sport programs be used to generate money in other areas of the university?

NCAA Men's B-ball tournament wastes weeks of student-athletes time. More weeknight games 6) Rules/Regulations: Amateurism- Can be pro in one sport and amateur Practice Time Limits- Officially, no more than 20 hrs/week, but have "recommended" workouts, in reality 40-50 hrs/week.
