    and you're wrong, they are not revenue generating sports.

    Attached is the study by the NCAA to prove.

    No one cares about Lax titles. Esp when there are only around 40 teams that play each year. Same with Women's Rowing (less than 30 teams).

    Oh my god, we charge for tickets for soccer and lax so that brings in revenue. The fact that you performed research on the internet to find a PDF to support your strawman is pretty sad. Get a life.

    And there are plenty of folks that care. Just because you don't doesn't make it so.

    Google really isn't that hard, probably took him 30 seconds. I find it hard for you to tell someone to get a life, when you pay to read the internet, about 16 year old kids and where they will go to college.

    So you charge for tickets, that's great. Do your coaches work for free? Is the travel free? Scholarships? You do not make money on the sports simply because you charge for tickets. You lose money, therefore it is a non-rev.

    You're confusing profit with revenue.

    No, I'm well aware of the difference, but no one considers a sport a rev just be amuse you charge for tickets. Technically, you do generate revenue, so I'll give you that, however those programs lose money, so I consider them non-revs

    I get your point, but to say "0 national titles in revenue sports" is wrong. Sports like lacrosse and soccer do bring in revenue.

    Lacrosse and soccer are non revenue sports. Just because UVA charges for these sports doesn't change the way the NCAA looks at them.

    Our LAX team can beat your football team. Just name the time and place. You better carry a big stick...

  • ive tried not to read the through the posts, but why are we arguing the definition of revenue sports? obviously uva fans view "non-revs" differently and obviously 95%(maybe higher i'm spit balling) of the fans on a college football related message board don't even know if their school has a rowing team. i don't understand why anything needs to be said about our interest in "non-revs" other than we are uva fans. we care cause we are better than you... obviously

    the internet is a powerful tool my friend, took me a solid 8 seconds to find that.

    If this rivalry heats back up this thread will go absolutely of the charts. I know you enjoy your winning streak over UVA but it won't last forever. The talent level at UVA is improving. Many four stars coming into the program next year. I am looking forward to some great games in the future. In the meantime our basketball teams should add plenty of fuel to this board for the next few months. They are both looking good and a lot of young developing talent. Two good young coaches..

    Unless you are national champs. I also notice that the US Olympics along with the entire world takes notice.

    Well maybe should have brought them on the field the last 9 years. All of the UVA fan base always has to bring up another sport like lax or soccer. Two sports that don't hold a candle to the sports that men play. If you are gonna talk crap about our football team at least put up a fight. I like how London is a great manager of clocks and how he makes Al Groh look like Bear Bryant. Your team and university is wack. Didn't y'all rush the field and try to take down goal post when you beat Miami. We did that to when we went to the national championship, and before you say anything about us losing or not having a national championship at least we have been. Don't forget this is about football so before you start getting your tie messed up and your panties in a punch and talking about your chess team realize that we are talking about the sport that brings in money. Well I guess you can talk about those sports because your football team couldn't sell out a play ground. I hope y'all have fun watching us play in a bowl game even if it is the russel athletic bowl at least it ain't the Tampax Bowl... Oh wait a minute UVA didn't even make that one. Why don't you hold each other and sing your lil song to that.

    Not a sanctioned sport. That's basically a club team.

    Then why are you touting the university's endowments and national championships in sports you couldn't conceivably give two-shits about?
