It brings in huge chunks of revenue for the school, the football program, and athletic dept as a whole. Many people work for those.
It brings in revenue for business in the area, which also employ people.
We play in a conference that gives out +30 million checks.
There are players whose performance earned them a free education valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Many players are auditioning for multi-million dollar paychecks. They are also using the program and it's coaches to prepare them for that industry.
Many many fans send huge chunks of their disposable income to the program for no reason other than they are fans and want to experience winning.
Many other people volunteer to work for the program for no pay for reasons basically coming down to being a fan and want to be around the program.
Coaches are vying for job security, paychecks, and in some cases making their careers and future paychecks based off having a good product.
This "game" is big business. It should be treated as such. It stops being "just a game" when you sign a contract to play in return for consideration ($ value of a scholarship).
youre one of the best posters on this site. ive never seen you make a shitty post.
