I think women's gymnastics is probably profitable at a handful of universities,
More profitable from NIL, lol.  Football studs 'n hotties!

They are not in the SEC yet, and they certainly were not in 2018/19.

Ask UTee. There is chatter that they may not go to the SEC anymore.

The same UTee that adamantly insisted that they'd be out of the Big 12 and playing in the SEC by 2022? :D

Heh...I think I stated that was a wild internet rumor. Fun to think about though.

It's possible that the announcement of UCLA/USC to the B1G will encourage ESPN to move things along more quickly.  The current hangup appears to be OU's inability to come up with the exit penalty/buyout to leave the B12 early, and for numerous reasons both schools plus the SEC want the move to happen all at once.  ESPN might be willing to help the Sooners along, in order to keep up with the B1G, and the implications of those new contracts with rival Fox.

USC vs. Ohio State, USC vs. Penn State, and USC vs. Michigan are going to be huge tv draws. 

ND joins the money they'll be able to print will be stupid.

We'd be giving up seeing ND play at Wake Forest though every few years.

There is a town named Wake Forest and the U isn't in it.

At Iowa we now have an attractive women's wrestling coach who projects a very positive image so that's something.
Florida, Alabama, and Utah are top flight women's gymnastics programs. Their teams attract crowds.
It could be duplicated in Iowa City with a bit of effort. In the 1970s we had the Iowa Television Network - b4 ESPN - carrying Iowa basketball, and it was a huge success.All the University of Iowa, and perhaps other universities need, to produce content for state-wide TV to capitalize on women's gymnastics would be to hire an Olympian like Shawn Johnson, and promote the sport. It is a great sport to view. These girls work so damned hard. My daughter was involved in tumbling growing up, but the gymnastics girls she worked out with and next to were at such a high level. 
After state-wide TV broadcasts start emanating gymnastics, ESPN and Fox Sports, which are thirsty for more content, would be next.

Yeah, I don't see that happening.  People care about women's gymnastics every 4 years at the Olympics.  
I was specifying the good part about some of these college girls getting some extra cash, but its not for their tumbling.  The ones that are hot and show off enough on their instagram pages to garner tons of followers are getting NIL money because of that.  
A very small % of their followers are gymnastics fans that know whether they're good or bad at the uneven bars.  It's mostly thirsty old men in the US or horny 20 year olds in Brazil or wherever.

I used to think Dr. Seuss' Butter Battle Book was a corollary for the Cold War, but now I realize it was predicting the SEC vs B1G arms race.
Silly me!
