Football is a fundraising/money-making venture for the school:
 - Football keeps alumni connected to the school, increasing donations
 - Football has $$$ from televised events that help offset the cost

I don't think any Universities have professional sports - thay have
amature/collegiate sports ;^) (sorry, picking nits)

Many schools have insignificant sporting programs and *don't* have
Nobel winners on faculty - there is no connection... (of course, IMHO
;^)

How many CS graduates return to their alma mater (sp?) and give
*significant* money? Oh, I'm sure there are a few, but...

Anyway,
