If anyone cared about those sports they would be revenue sports.

Why would schools give scholarships for smart people? If people valued smart people they'd find a way to make them into revenue for the college.

Smart people raise the level of education for everyone they interact with in school.

Supply/Demand .. you can toss in a PC society that would frown on potential "contact sports" that would generate some revenue

USC has always cultivated and encouraged Olympic Athletes.

That's just what a fine institution of higher learning does.

When my daughter competes in the Olympics she'll bring more notoriety for her school which in turn will bring more money to them.
