NCAA Football is big business. Nike is big business and has invested, maybe close to a half $Billion or more on the football program. TV revenue flows and the PAC 12 has it's own income stream from the network and major outlet revenues, aside from ticket sales.
It's quaint and maybe valuable that we cling to notions of innocence that many of us used to have about team, school and spirit as long as we can. Because it's not the world we live in.
