states bail out the athletic departments? What will private schools do? What would BYU do? If P5 programs are going under, I would definitely be more enthusiastic about donating to the athletic department if keeping the program afloat meant filling a P5 spot. There are a handful of athletic departments in real debt. WSU is in trouble. Cal is also in trouble, but would the state save them? What does a program like TCU do to cover costs? Is it a pipe dream to hope that some struggling P5 program goes under and makes a spot for BYU?
