For administrators

Somebody has to sign the paper that closes it.

More than 415 college programs have been cut since May 2024. A club founded in 1885 was liquidated and now plays in the eighth tier. Every one of them had someone in your chair who ran out of options.

Look at the balance
The ceiling

Both worlds got a cap. Neither one lets you spend your way out.

College
A revenue-share ceiling, around $20.5M, rising 4% a year
Roster limits replaced scholarship limits
The walk-ons disappear, and you decide which ones
The club
A squad cost ratio: roughly 85% of revenue on wages, transfers, and fees
And an owner's cash injection does not count as revenue
So it does not raise your limit

The richest owner alive cannot buy past a ratio. The best fundraiser in college cannot outspend a cap. The moment the money is capped, this stops being a fundraising problem and becomes an allocation problem. The only lever left is spending better than the man in the next seat.

What gets cut
Men's swimming and diving
Women's tennis
Men's volleyball
Track and field
Wrestling
Cross country
What gets closed
Liquidated after 135 years
Relegated by a points deduction
Into administration
Twelve points, before a ball is kicked
Reformed in the eighth tier
Gone

Every one of those was signed by somebody in your chair who could not find the money. Not one of them wanted to.

What you get

The whole operation. One system.

That is not a discount. That is eleven line items you no longer have.

The intelligence

Where every unit of a capped budget actually goes.

Red to black

It has already been done, from a worse position than yours.

No aid, no scholarships, no facilities, and practice before sunrise in a gym they did not own. If it can be done from there, it can be done from where you are sitting.
