Houston
FB Revenue: 11.2 mill
FB Expense: 10.7 mill

North Texas
FB Revenue: 4.4 mill
FB Expense: 3.5 mill

UTEP
FB Revenue: 14.5 mill
FB Expense: 6.4 mill

The numbers to me say two things.

1) G5 football is pulling its own weight financially. That is where all the revenue is.
2) G5 salaries won't go up too much higher since the margin isn't great.

Uh, student aid counts. Those scholarships could have gone to everyone, not just those who played football. Why not just set up a Title IX for full rides for people who belong to groups that almost NEVER get FBS scholarships?

Look at UTEP for example. What's the percentage of Latinos in the student body (per UTEP, its 85%)? What is the percentage on the football team?

Look, there are many reasons why our football teams don't look like the student bodies that are largely paying for them. Lets not pretend that those scholarships incur real costs, and at the expense of other opportunities of that.

Yeah, you have to count the cost of the scholarships too.
