The interesting thing about private equity firms investing in college athletics is that it is being thought of as an additional stream of revenue for college athletics to pay the athletes. However, I think that private equity firms will mostly wnat to invest in bigger programs leaving smaller ones with more questions than answers. If those smaller programs cannot find enough additional revenue to pay athletes then they may have to cut certain sports.
