Well, he isn't entirely wrong. When it boils down to it, these are still just young men playing a game for our amusement. I love college football as much as the next guy, but I just try to enjoy the wins and not let the losses get me down while moving on with my week. Even when my Ags win, I still have to go to work on Monday, mortgage is still due, and kids still have to be fed and delivered to school.

While true, it is also true that these programs (due to overboard fan support) contribute greatly to the local economies. The University of Tennessee's football program's financial impact to East Tennessee is around $205 Million, annually. "2,611 local jobs result directly from UT football’s impact, and another 1,210 jobs come from its secondary effects."
