Five Reasons to Attend a Football University

College football is a huge part of American culture. It is a tradition that dates back to the 19th century, and the museum’s exhibits on the topic hope to spark discussion about this important part of our history.

The Autumnal Madness

In the fall, people all over America turn on the TV to watch their favorite team. In the midst of this national obsession with college football, we must be vigilant about its influence on our society.

The college football season is one of the most popular fall sports in the country, attracting billions of dollars in television revenue and ticket sales. It also brings in donations from alumni and merchandise sales, and can boost an athlete’s eligibility for the next year.

But it also adds another burden to students and their families, who must shoulder a high student athletics fee that can add up to $1 billion annually at Division I schools, according to the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. This is an expensive and unnecessary distraction from the academic priorities of the school and its athletes.

Big Ten Realignment – and the demise of local rivalries

A relentless push to broaden and professionalize the sport is destroying the traditions that made college football so beloved. A number of schools are leaving their conference to join new groups that will often play them far away from their homes, thereby eliminating the regional rivalries that give towns and states a sense of pride and provide fans with some entertaining games each year.

The result is that schools are increasingly pursuing short-term revenue gains. That includes player stipends and lucrative media rights deals, which are a large source of revenue for the top programs. The money is used to help attract star players, and it can reduce the illegal recruiting practices that have tarnished the reputation of the game.

As schools seek more short-term revenue and try to attract more high-end players, they must cut costs. That means reducing their football budgets and redirecting some of that money to other, more important programs, like scholarships for student-athletes.
