Brown, an Ivy League school, had 39 sanctioned sports program,

until last week. They demoted 11 of those to club status, not because of financial constraints but because there were so many sports, they couldn’t give proper attention to all of them, and thus were not competitive.

Brown cuts 11 varsity sports in aim to increase competitiveness

Brown, which has had little recent athletic success, restructured its athletics at the recommendation of an external committee on athletic excellence.

Justification for non-revenue sports?

I fall back on the ivies. If they feel there’s a benefit to the university

I guess if we have the money for it, I have no reason to complain.

Most of what universities do doesn't make financial sense.

I doubt it pays for anything. But it collects tuition and educates a fair number

Because: 1. Universities are non profit entities, generally, 2. Minor sports
