Regarding that $$ generations, outside the schools with TV contracts, only a very even break even on football.

I would hope students as well....they are the one's paying for the bulk of it!
Of course, them too. Its my understanding very few of them actually enter the stadium for the game though?

Am I the only one who has a bad feeling that there won’t be any college athletics before 2021. Several big name schools are having a ton of covid cases

The folks over at AGS seem to be split about 50/50 whether we'll have a 2020 football season or not.
