Message: [QUOTE="Cuse181, post: 4295397, member: 8295"] Most college football is mediocre, that’s why they’re college and not pro players. The networks pay because there are eye balls and fans watching these games. If they didn’t, there wouldn’t be an arms race to get the MOST money, it’d be trying to get ANY money. D1 college sports has value at all levels of football, that’s why the schools have programs. You think ESPN wrote the check to the ACC because they wanted to make the ACC feel good? No, it’s because the collective alumni bases look past the amateur level Football on the field to support something they feel they have a personal connection to. The college football product for 80% of schools is about the alumni support not ransoms fans, and time and time again it proves to be a profitable venture to televise those games. [/QUOTE]
