Saw someone post on TOS a few days ago that we should shut down the women's soccer program (and a men's program to balance with Title 9), arguing that we need to allocate more money to football and men's basketball.

I'm 100% opposed to eliminating ANY of our other sports. First of all, you wouldn't even be "saving" all that much money by eliminating a program - probably only $750k to $1 million per non-revenue sport on average…which is a drop in the bucket compared to the ~$120-130 million total athletic dept budget.

Secondly, if you go by this "logic" that all non-revenue sports are "hurting us financially", then that would mean we "should" eliminate ALL non-revenue sports. First it would be, hypothetically, "only" cutting women's soccer and men's golf. Then a few yeas later, it would lead to cutting more and more sports - such as track and field, or softball. Then tennis and wrestling, etc.

Having a large number of sports benefits the entire athletic dept and university overall, in ways that don't show up just from looking at revenue vs expenses.

And if we want to talk about the programs that are the biggest losers financially for the NC State athletic department (and at most other universities as well), the top two losers are women's basketball and baseball. So those making this argument should be willing, if they are true to the logic they are using, to eliminate women's basketball and baseball first before any other sports.
