Certain sports make money. Generally Basketball and Football raise the most. Basketball is the cheapest one to fund, generally, so it usually sees big gains. Football costs a bit more, but if you have a good enough team to get into a bowl game every year you'll be making very good money. Baseball can make money too, but it is harder. The remainder of the sports really don't make anything and are almost wholly supported by the other sports.

Point here, the SEC is one of the richest conferences in the NCAA, they don't do wrestling though. It doesn't make anything.

Fully agree man. You're spot on with that assessment.

With what colleges charge, etc. I don't think it's a money issue - and this might just be a difference of viewpoint fundamentally which is okay - I think sports, especially amateur sports during a persons developmental years are extremely important. They provide a multitude of benefits.

Colleges back in the day had those programs and they weren't making money, or nearly as much for the University, but they still had them. Because those benefits were recognized.

I just think the intelligentsia don't want, or appreciate, the values that sports and competition instills in people and that is why they want to get rid of them. Again, that's my personal opinion.
