Excellent caveat and you are probably right "for now," but the fact that the entire Loyola staff is attending these workouts tells me that at least *somebody* has a different model in mind than just "let's break even." When's the last time you saw a school's athletic director stand around for a middle school event where no one stood to make any money or find new students (most of the kids working out were already Loyola students).

Down the street, You've got Sett and Hilgartner bringing in $80K+ per team for Predators, and club/camp ownership has made Millon a millionaire. I think that's an important data point to consider if you are WIll Haus or Blake Henry. You can guarantee other coaches (and wannabe club coaches) are telling them to take advantage of the side benefits of their new positions.

You're right though, best to let it exist innocently for as long as it can. Why not?
