I know years ago after Wichita State lost most of it’s team in a plane crash. A commission decided having a football program was not financially worth it and decided then to stop the program.
It will be interesting to see what collegiate sports looks like in 20 years.

Wichita State's football program actually carried on about a dozen years or so after that plane crash. The school gave future Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer his first full-time assistant coaching job but I digress. The program never recovered from the plane crash and with attendance down and poor records on the field TPTB decided to drop the program.
