BYU wasn't the elite academic school it is now until it had major sports
What LaVell Edwards accomplished drew thousands more students to BYU and raised the academic profile of the school. You can't deny this. The academic reputation of BYU has soared as a result. Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where elite students who likely would've attended a UC, Stanford, Ivy League, etc. in 70s and have no interest in sports now want to be at BYU. Its not unreasonable for them to pay $50 as part of their tuition to fund athletics. And with the free access maybe they'll actually attend games while they're at school.

POLL: Yay or nay: Every student pays $100-$150 extra every fall semester as part of tuition. That is listed as a “sports fee” but for that the students get a pass to every school sanctioned sporting event.
