If Rice really wanted to make some money off their sports program, they could just disband the football team and rent out the stadium.
Well, athletics had a positive cash flow at Rice forty years ago anyway. For some reason, both Texas A&M and UT played Rice in Houston every year, and the statium was always sold out for both games. Kind of depressing for the home team however.
On the other hand, it was kind of like playing the Allies in the first year: One year in the 60's we actually beat A&M (the only victory that year as I remember) and everyone felt good for at least a couple of years.
