Yeah, these last two responses are most likely the most true.
The majority of payouts is from TV revenue. Schools are losing money.
Taxpayers footing the bill in a lot of cases.
Playoffs are a necessity, if any semblance of a championship is the goal of these institutions. One big excuse you always hear is the travel for fans.
I think if the bowl games thus far are any indication, attendance is not required. As much as I enjoy college football, I can't bring myself to watch this game on TV now.
Every trend/complaint I had in the original post is on full display right now.
