More idiotic is treating football and track and field as equals.
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)
