NCAA report: College sports spending keeps skyrocketing

Critics rail. The NCAA preaches restraint. But spending on college athletics continues to soar, a new study finds.
Major college programs increased their operating budgets by nearly 11% annually â?? bumping up expenditures by well more than a third over a recent three-year span â?? according to the report commissioned by the NCAA. That more than doubled the average 4.9% annual rise in universities’ overall spending.
