Duke also. I guess my point is that the elite private universities become less like Harvard and more like Alabama the longer they chase the football money, which I assume is the wrong direction for those universities.Northwest seems fine where they are. Vandy maybe. What about Duke? (Are they not all 'similar'?)

Those institutions - elite, private, wealthy - should be above any type of ruse, don't you think? Their bars are pretty high.The amount of money they are pulling in justifies going along with the ruse for awhile.
The only question is, will people keep watching?

If indeed “Sports exist as a marketing arm for the school first and foremost.” that could still produce an overall net gain - even if sports are not necessarily a profit center. Schools seem to benefit from their respective sports programs in one fashion or another. If not I imagine the current environment would be quite different.
