"it's all about the money." You are completely blind to the point I'm making.

It may be "all about the money" for the schools and the administrators according to you but that is NOT why the fans and alumni are there. They are there for the love amateur sports, school spirit, tradition etc. They are NOT there for the money. Many are there because those are thing the NFL CANNOT give them. And the fans pay the freight. Or don't you get that?
