Are you suggesting that profitable sports are the only sports that college's should be offering scholarships for?
I could understand this.

No, but I'm suggesting that a sport (or sports, if the school is both a football and basketball power) that pays the freight for everybody else should have more scholarships. It seems perfectly reasonable to me to offer more scholarships to kids who bring money into the school athletic program budget and fund the rest of the sports. For the most part, baseball, swimming, wrestling and soccer scholarships are paid with money earned by the football or basketball teams. Furthermore, more people (students, alumni and parents) are interested in football and basketball than baseball or soccer by several orders of magnitude.
