Football, sports in general, is an entertainment show, the best reality show extant, nothing more, nothing less...the rating for pro football have grown because by week 5 there is a sense of drama and story lines.

Conversely, MLB, Basketball (college and pros) and college football are largely irrelevant for over 1/2 their seasons.

I have not watched an entire college or pro basketball game in 15 years. Why would you?

MLB? I love baseball but aside from the Giants in the play-offs, you can't make me watch four hours of "launch angles", defensive shifts and batters and pitches with more quirks than a Faulkner novel: MLB is an unwatchable product.

College football is a remarkable entertainment product poorly managed...it appears that is changing.

NIL is a driving force and I like it.

Lastly, as I have written here before, athletic scholarships are bravo sierra and the NCAA completely gooned the process.
