Student-athletes

At the University of Memphis, we are big on sports and have many athletes. Now some sports provide revenue for the university, those being basketball and football. There are 16 other sports that do not provide any revenue for the school, so their expenses are split from the school budget. Woman's sports receive more benefit because of Title IX, and the male sports struggle to barely break-even. What I'm trying to get at is why are those sports that bring back so much for the university are not compensated in some way. I think they should be congratulated for doing so much for the campus and they should stand above the rest.
