I’ve heard it said that there are only about 25-30 profitable Athletic depts

I'd actually be surprised if it's that many

It's a linked in article, but looks like 18. I'm surprised Purdue makes money,

Choices. Spend less than you make.

Then you lose games. Most money goes toward facilities and coaching. Cut back

So spend and expect someone else to bail you out?

It’s a horrible cycle but that’s why they go into the red

How much tax revenue do athletics generate for the state?

Running a church with fluid tithing income is imo much less complex. Church
