Bradley University president Gary Roberts is convinced that the current financial structure of Division I college athletics is unsustainable.
"We have a subgroup of schools that have turned football and men's basketball into professional entertainment," Roberts said. "The money that's earned is simply so great that schools who don't earn it won't be able to stay competitive for much longer.
"Right now at Bradley, we can sustain the subsidy of college athletics. But barely. If that deficit were to grow anymore, it would get very problematic for us."
Opinions differ over how unsustainable.
