While a Division I school can save money by getting rid of its football program, a Division III school — where athletic scholarships are prohibited — can gain revenue by adding one. OnlyAGameNPR
KG: So with all the focus on concussions and all the news reports of football losing ground at the high school level, I think our listeners might have the impression that colleges must be backing away from the sport at this point. But overall, that's not what's happening, right?
BP: Well, I have heard of Anna Maria. I am from northern Connecticut. So maybe I'm just a little more versed in what's going on around in Worcester area. Look: We looked at the list of schools that had dropped [football] and the list that had added. Granted, most of the ones that have added, but not all, are smaller colleges. So Anna Maria fit that, you know, as a prototype.
"It was clear that in order for us to compete at a level that we wanted to against the programs that we have to play against in the Colonial Athletic Association, it was going to require investments in the multiples of millions of dollars," Peter Roby said."And I just didn't feel I could make that recommendation to the senior leadership of the institution."
KG: So, how has that decision turned out for Northeastern? Has the school suffered horribly for having gotten rid of football? KG: So 10 years ago, when Anna Maria made this decision to add football, what were they hoping it would do?wrote a story about schools like this adding football 15 years ago BP: Correct. Absolutely. And, because there's no athletic scholarships, because the coaches are not coaches, maybe, that have built up the experience where they're gonna earn a salary of, you know, several hundred thousand dollars or millions, you don't need eight trainers, you don't need chartered jets to get you around to games, and so the costs are very low. It's a revenue boost for these schools. Absolutely.
