“… universities started cleaning up the big cash …” Notre Dame has 24 varsity sports. The 12 for men are: Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Fencing, Football, Golf, Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Swimming & Diving, Tennis, Track & Field. The 12 for women are: Basketball, Cross Country, Fencing, Golf, Lacrosse, Rowing, Soccer, Softball, Swimming & Diving, Tennis, Track & Field, Volleyball. One wonders how much “big cash” needs to come in from two or three of these sports in order to offset the big cash that is going out for the other twenty-plus.
