strangely enough, whenever you or I or anyone else asks

that question about subsidizing other sports, there is never a good answer given as to why revenue producing sports should subsidize non revenue producing sports. Truthfully, there is never an answer at all. Here, your question is ignored and I've posted it several other times, notably to that dishonest poster irishdog80, and it is never addressed. Worse even, he doesn't note the difference between business partners (the NCAA member schools) distributing surplus amongst the partnership and athletes supporting other athletes who are in different sports and who are not partners in the slightest.

It's a very, very dishonest approach. There are reasons to not pay the athletes any more, but the horse is out of the barn now. You can't treat it as a big business on one hand and then amateur athletics on the other. It just doesn't work that way.
