[NU Sports] Two responses for the price of one

and fewer men's sports, too, if demand is defined as paying
spectators, rather than interested students.  How many tickets could
men's fencing sell? (not that I have anything against fencing - and
I'd never insult a man with a sword)

with the exception of a few big money sports (at a few big money
schools), most college sports (and theater, and orchestras, etc.) seem
to exist to enrich the student experience; if they bring in some money
to support themselves (or in the case of 'revenue' sports, the other
sports programs), that's a nice side benefit.  This doesn't bother me
too much, and I think it's fair to charge what the market will bear
without requiring sports which students want to play (tennis,
swimming, xcountry, etc.) to sell tickets.
