Talk about shooting themselves in the foot. MD football and basketball brings in boatloads of cash, enough to pay for all the other sports.
Nope, would actually like to see all the big money collegiate sports programs dismantled.
Colleges and Universities should be in the business of education, not feeding onto our society's bread and circuses atmosphere.

Football can bring a lot of good to a college. My second year of college my school made a major bowl and there was a huge influx of money into the school. The revenue from the football team that year paid for a huge upgrade to the main library and it was brought into the digital age. For the most part mens basketball is revenue neutral but builds facilities used by other sports. Mens basket ball and football allow other programs such as field hockey, rifle, curling, hockey etc to exist.
I wouldn't be upset if they cancelled the football program. Not for the player death, but because it is a distraction from the mission of the university.
