He could be right. Where is it written that every school must have a football program?

This University President Is Thrilled That His School Says ‘No’ to College Football

College football is an expensive operation, but many people, especially fans of national championship contenders Clemson and Alabama, would argue that it is not optional.

Drexel University President John Fry thinks his school gets on just fine without the added distraction of football and all the bills that come with it.

Fry wrote a Monday op-ed for the Wall Street Journal titled “We’re Glad We Say No to College Football” in which he called the choice not to have a football program “a major strategic advantage for Drexel.”

“Our Division I athletic programs create a strong sense of pride on campus,” he wrote. “But we focus entirely and exclusively on our mission: delivering a high-quality education for all students. More universities should feel welcome to join us.”

He noted that most colleges spend more than they make on their football programs, depleting their financial reservoirs. Fry explained that only 20 percent of the 130 schools in the top division of college football had a positive operating margin and reprimanded the campus football culture for prioritizing football financially and consequently depriving other academic departments of those resources.
