They are spending plenty of money on the sport. They just aren't funding scholarships, at least not on the athletic side. Butler for example has invested a lot money into their stadium, completely redid their locker rooms in Hinkle Fieldhouse (part of an overall renovation), they pay coaches, athletic administration, game day staff, etc. so there is definitely high expense there. I don't know if they break even, but I assume they do. They don't use football revenue to fund the rest of their athletic programs like many other schools (that often comes from basketball), but it's still a key part of their athletic program. Using this logic every D3 school should drop football as well. It serves a different purpose than NDSU, but it's not a bad thing. It doesn't hurt us at all.
