Episode 86 - The Business Behind College Football 🏈📈

Not Rocket Science

In this all new episode episode, we go in a somewhat different direction than normal shows where we dive into the business of college football. When it comes to college football, many people tend to be in the dark when it comes to how the sausage is made and why the contracts for coaches and facilities have jumped so significantly to the point where the numbers are completely mind boggling to a casual fan. I also break down why television (and streaming platform) contracts rule the entire industry, why only 25 or so programs are actually profitable, how all of college sports collapses with out football and how the catalyst for all of the big spending is actually 15-17 year old kids. The business of college football is one of the least understood but most wild entertaining industries in the U.S. and because college football recruiting is a nerdy side hobby of the NRS team, we figured to dedicate an episode shedding light on an industry where the details are often hidden from the casual supporter. From, shady boosters paying recruits to Fortune 500 companies we go innnnnnnn on deciphering the biz of American college football!
