College football is definitely more corporate these days than it was in the past.

The money the coaches are making, the leagues are making, the tv contracts, the playoffs, the size and niceness of the facilities, the endorsement deals, the media attention, etc.

College football has never been this pure amateur athletic utopia or anything, but there's no denying it has strayed even further away from that supposed ideal than it used to be.

How in the world does it make it "more corporate"?Just because more money from TV is available?

Are CFB stadiums now getting corporate sponsers? Have they renamed the CFB playoffs after a corporate sponser?

It's simply the evolution of the game.Weren't CFB facilities nicer in the 90's than they were in the 70's?Weren't coaches paid more in the 90's than the 70's?

Hell,I remember when the Sugar Bowl changed its name to
the USF&G Sugar Bowl and that was in the 80's.I remember when the Fiesta Bowl changed to the Tostito Fiesta Bowl in the 90's.If it wasn't for CFA the Peach
Bowl probably wouldve gone out of business in the early
90's.
