Is that why the Syracuse Mets draw such huge crowds and can demand such high prices for tickets? How many lower level pro football leagues have folded despite having teams in areas lacking a major team to root for? How are the crowds at g-league games? What about TV deals for minor league teams?

People don't care about minor league pro sports, even when they have guys playing in them that were popular in college. How many of our fans are going out of their way to catch a game with Buddy in it? We have people that live on the other side of the country that will do all they can to get back to Syracuse to catch a game. Others plan for multiple away football games every year. College isn't simply a substitute for areas lacking a major league team. There is a built in connection.

The relationship between player and college is symbiotic. They both benefit from the other. People that try to claim it's only schools that benefit from the popularity of the players are not being objective.
