In a perfect world non revenue sports get fund raised to the point that they are self suffucient. If a budget was $500k then $10.000.000 gets it done.
OT: Reducing sports?

In 2025 I dont think taxpayer money should be anywhere near college sports. Taxpayer money is helping increase FMV of players.
I just learned last year that the SEC doesn’t have soccer offered. That blew my mind. Reason being that would be too expensive to maintain a non-revenue generating soccer program because you’d have to create more opportunities for women sports, which are also non-revenue generating and just exacerbates the problem. They’d rather spend their money on football and basketball.
I’m not suggesting getting rid of Soccer because I love that sport and I think that schools in the Big Ten and ACC should have strong soccer programs given the strong soccer history in those areas of the country. I just had no idea that was the case and it’s really comes down to money.

NJ.com headline:
" @Greene Rice FIG trying to sink Rutgers Womens Rowing Team. Wants to fire the coach and pull scholarships from student atheltes!!"
hahaha
I don't think your going to get the AD position.
Or maybe you should?
"We are an NCAA Division I, fully-funded varsity sport at Rutgers competing in the Big Ten Conference. "
Cutting sports will go over real well... I can see the headlines on NJ.COM.... Rutgers cuts women's golf to pay football players more $$$$
Because it's our most successful marketing arm by a mile? Not to mention the academic ties with being in the B1G. Don't be obtuse.
You sound like the people who are complaining DOGE is trying to cut waste in the federal government. I am not going to repeat myself, simply put some of our sports teams need to be taken out back and shot. I am guessing you don't follow them and how putrid they are YOY.
I am not being obtuse . Asking real questions. Is it really our most successful marking arm by a mile? It’s a complete disaster and bad PR so many times. That is sad.
No it's not where are you getting this from. Thats what many at RU still don't get. Athletics is our marketing department, nothing else.
