I read an article from 2020 that said prior to then “NCAA rules required Division l schools to sponsor a minimum of 16 varsity sports….But because of Covid, five FBS conferences including AAC and CUSA asked the NCAA to relax Division l requirements.”
Not sure of the current requirements, but there is your answer of what we were required to sponsor and why.
If given the option we should maximize revenue sports (sports that can have attendance like baseball) and drop non-attendance non-revenue sports like cross country, track, golf as much as possible.
