It seems pretty clear that a certain number of games each season are rigged. If that is the case, why spend the time, money and effort to watch a game that has a predetermined outcome? I would be willing to bet that many diehard fans on this board know there is corruption (officials, paid players, act tests, possibly even judges for crimes) but, are able to get past it and still enjoy cfb. Do you just accept that 1 or 2 games on your scheduled are going to be rigged and get over it? Is cfb so enjoyable that you are able to look past those games? Is it that for any particular game, you go/watch because you don’t know that specific game will be rigged?

I understand the dynamics. There are millions of dollars at stake and the league’s interests must be protected. From a business standpoint, you can’t leave these things up to chance. Still, that negatively affects the integrity of the game for the fans. What’s your perspective?

Looks kind of like a butterfly.

Or maybe two elephants butt to butt.

Yep. Same shite different week. I said Mellow, couldn't remember his name. It's probably someone straying to far from ITAT.

I'm pretty sure no reasonable cfb fan is naive enough to think at least a couple each season aren't. It's not like this is some big secret

The games are always rigged in my school's favor, so of course I still watch

So what I'm getting is that fans are willing to accept a certain degree of corruption.
