Agreed, but that might be how the people paying money to watch sports view drag racing or sprint cars, I was a collegiate athlete and trust me the NCAA isn't any better than the NFL or NBA or any other sports organization, there's so much money pumped in to the system it's not even funny, where do you think the bowl game money goes to? The NCAA takes around 75% of ticket revenue for every collegiate football game i know that, i don't
know about the sports, nor do i really care; every-time you see an NCAA-IAA school play a division IIAA school the IA school pays the lower ranked school to come play there, the team i played for got paid $1 million dollars to play the minnesota golden gophers and we got our asses handed to us, but the fact of the matter is someone has to pay for the scholarships the athletes are getting, so there's just flat out to much money in sports period, and it won't change until people realize they're payin a ton of money to watch some guy play his hobby
