Colleges have lots of athletes who are not interested in school. They want to be seen by pro teams. If the Big 10 did not open, who would commit to them. When others started playing, they had to fold.
That’s asinine. (We’re talking the big P5 schools here). Football is a massive revenue generator and yes there are schools that have shown correlation between the football team’s performance and an increase in students applying to the school.
Many athletic departments at Universities aren’t profitable but we’re talking football not athletic departments as a whole.
Big Ten football will be played, but there will be no fans in the stands. When the Big Ten kicks off its season the weekend of Oct. 24, it will do it from empty stadiums as the conference has decided not to sell tickets to the public for the 2020-21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Where would OU be without football. All you have to do is drive through Norman to see the effects of “football” money on that little town. Right now I’m at a hotel in Stillwater. My son has a personal honors tour and recruiting visit and even though they would like to pay him to come here because of his brain part of the tour is to take him through the stadium and sports facilities and to talk about how much fun game days are. Football does not lose money at these two schools.
