So we can actually show that it's not just the sports that lose money and that survive because football and basketball provide them with extra funds, it's not just that the students are more likely to be White, but they tend to come from richer families, they've gone to high schools where the average family income is higher."
So that may apply to about 15 or so schools for football and a few more for basketball. What about all the other schools where student fees are supporting football and basketball players?

No. I do not mean that. CNN penned the "Affluent White student-athletes are profiting from the labor of their poor Black peers" title. How do they know those white kids playing minor non-revenue sports are "affluent"? |

How do they know those white kids playing minor non-revenue sports are "affluent"? From the above study the CNN story cover "Using complete roster data for every student-athlete playing sports at these schools in 2018, we find that the rent-sharing effectively transfers resources away from students who are more likely to be black and more likely to come from poor neighborhoods towards students who are more likely to be white and come from higher-income neighborhoods. To understand the magnitude of the available rents, we calculate a wage structure for college athletes using the collective bargaining agreements in professional sports leagues as a benchmark. We also discuss how our results help understand how universities have responded to recent threats to these rents arising from litigation, legislation, and the global coronavirus pandemic." |

I read that. A large number of athletes competing on Title IX "balancing" sports are not affluent. They are regular middle age kids from Indiana. The point I was making is that CNN put up a very divisive title to the story covering this report. This report also doesn't mention that athletes playing in revenue generating sports (i.e.basketball & football) are not being forced to play these sports. They can choose to do otherwise. The non-revenue athletes do not have to play their sports either. Both sets of athletes choose to play their sport because they love (enjoy) to play their sport. Nobody is forcing one anyone to play a certain sport to support another sport. Athletes can choose not to play a sport, if they feel exploited. CNN was very disingenuous in their presentation of this report, but that is CNN in 2020. BSU does recruit many non-revenue generating athletes from overseas. They are in a competition to get the best talent they can. But a lot of the local (Midwest) athletes playing non-revenue sports are not "affluent." Many of the revenue sports athletes are not impoverished, nor are they forced to leverage those athletes in non-revenue sports. CNN is just baiting a terrible argument, but that's what they do these days. |

As I said, the case made here applies to around 15-20 schools where football makes big money and is profitable.
What's the situation in the hundreds of other schools with football? Here we have students, who probably have a distribution for race that pretty similar to the country as a whole, paying fees to support the very expensive sport of football, in which blacks are overwhelmingly overrepresented relative to the country as a whole.
The situation I describe is around 20 times more common than the situation the article describes. What does CNN say about this?

Exactly right on this general. You have to be color blind to not see FB as contributing to diversity on campus.
And many would not otherwise get the education.
The idea BSU players are subsidizing anyone is lunatic.

All I know is that when I was in college, I helped several single moms pay for classes. Or so they said.
