That is what you wrote but nice job trying to backtrack. An economic engine is not something that runs in the red. Buildings obviously don't produce revenue. If you wish to discuss whether D1 Sci/Tech and Biology departments produce income and actual profit for those D1 schools we can do that. I will concede that the buildings don't.
The overwhelming majority of D1 schools are state schools so trying to make some tangential argument that OSU is a state school is meaningless.
Analysis: Who is winning in the high-revenue world of college sports? | PBS NewsHour
"In 2019, only 25 of 130 schools in the high-grossing Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) whose members are large, mostly public universities (with some exceptions such as Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Stanford) reported positive net revenues"
An economic engine is not something that loses money. As far as what departments bring in the most revenue... if that is your criteria for being an economic engine, sports is a tiny fraction of the income compared with health care delivery.
