You are the first person on this site who understands the issues.

However, this argument does not take into account many other issues, such as the educational value of football, the culture of a scoiety that keeps losing opportunities,as well as alumni relations and publicity.

This agument goes deep and has many layers. It is disheaetening that the trend in the northeast is to give up on this that so many people value and have benifited in so many ways.

If everything came down to dollars and cents, then what is the point of living in this country.

I understand the extra that you put forth, but no matter how you slice it, you have to view it in the totality of the issue which takes into account views of the non-sport minded people who as just happens, are in the majority. The complexity of the various pros and cons never allows one to get to the bottom line impact and the decision always flows to the side that has the most power. I am reasonably anti-Jesuit and believe the Jesuit schools with successful programs are the product of powerful alumni programs who control substantial amounts of money, while the smaller (money wise) schools trend towards less athletic exposure favored by the Jesuits. Anyone who has read the discussions in the Jesuit Magazine "Reflections" (?) would see that even the pro side taken by a BC Jesuit shows that Jesuits at large have little feelings for athletic programs.
