The stupid thing is that most Universities, except a very few, lose money on the facilities costs, the extravagant salaries, the marketing etc. Moreover they only manage to recoup some of it with such things as $500 Activities Fees that are added on and reach student is required to pay. Does it mean free tickets to the games etc., Not in the slightest. Students still have to pay to get in to see even a horrid game. Then there are those students who will never use the facilities or go to the sames - grad students and those who are simply not interested in semi literate bruisers smashing into each other.
