I posted a link regarding the structural  sustainability of colleges here.

The same guy did one for Mapping College Athletics.  Pretty cool nerd stuff.

Comparing only FCS schools..

Interesting that UND and USD rated as high capacity while the marker schools are high stress. Assume for Fargo U that only gets worse with vastly increased expenses and marginal revenue gains.

Don't know much about the SD schools, but the North Dakota schools isn't really surprising. UND made some hard (and some unpopular) choices during both rounds of budget cuts in the last decade and in the process, right-sized a lot of things to prepare for future growth. NDSU opted to kick the can down the road and not do a whole lot of adapting. Enrollment trends seem to indicate UND made the correct moves.

Hopefully that continues and UND doesn't feel pressured into being a lemming going over the FBS cliff.
