Just don't post in the thread. It's pretty easy. Don't need 12 posts about how football is all that matters. Just keep that shite in other threads. That's all.

I don't see the problem there.

Not if you are talking about overall Athletic Departments.
Sure, for most, if not all, of us, football is king, and nobody is weighting the sports. They are evaluating a sports program, which means....more than football counts.

Track & Field is not an equal to football as it commands a 6x multiplier. This is the reason the PAC has been able to rack up so many NCAA championships. One of the main schools where Track & Field supports the football is Oregon. Phil Knight aka NIKE has used his T&F money to finance football for the Ducks.
Football = fall points for male only sport
Cross Country = fall points for male + fall points for female
Indoor Track & Field = winter points for male + winter points for female
Outdoor Track & Field = spring points for male + spring points for female
Other points to consider about the sports at the college and national level
1) Football is mainly an American sport / Track & Field is a global sport
2) Football is not an olympic sport / Track & Field is an olympic sport
3) Football do not migrate athletes to T&F / T&F migrates athletes to other college sports
(Lots of T&F recruits wind up in basketball and other sports)
