All am saying is, if I thought intercollegiate athletics had as much value as you, I'd work on coming up with the 14 million dollars. Instead of saying, don't cut, why don't you organize and work on generating real revenue or real solutions like a club model?

Pretty much everything is on the table for cuts, those programs that find a way to increase revenue or demonstrate a history of significant  fiscal return on investment may be spared. 

aside: The argument that other states have something doesn't really make sense. Other states don't have tuition that is subsidized to the tune of $20,000 per student like Alaska. We have a different fiscal model than Colorado. Colorado State appropriation for high education is low, but tuition is high, so they can afford athletics.

Our model is 40% to 50% of the cost of a college education is paid by the State, which has a fiscal plan based on the price of oil. Have you looked at the price of oil lately?
