Lets do some math (Source = UD finical aid web page):
100 players on roster x $58000 cost of attendance (tuition, board and fees) = $5.8M
Average 1st year student receives $28,000 in financial aid = $30,000 per student net COA.
This might be why Dayton football survives:
Men's football brings in $3M in revenue each year from the players tuition. If they spend $1M on football related expenses, they still generate $2M in revenue.
The women's sports at UD spent $5,628,072 on women's teams and received $2,802,959 in revenue. (Source: Collegefactual.com)
So maybe, just maybe, football survives because they help cover the losses of all women's sports. Just a thought...
