I know this is a meme, but I do think it's worth mentioning most D1 popular sports costs like, coach's salaries, scholarships, facilities, equipment, and travel, aren't funded through the university.

It's still a pretty messed up system, don't get me wrong. Just pointing out the universities aren't giving scholarships to athletes instead of students... at least not directly.
