IT IS A LIE, JUST A GREAT BIG LIE !

I love college football. Lord help me I love it so. If you measure love by time my love for football is vast. I spend countless hours watching, reading about, or thinking about football.
I need to face the truth . I have been loving a lie. You see, college football is not a game. It is a business, a big business. The games are not played by university students but by hired guns. The coaches are not beloved educators but self -seeking CEOs. The fans are not on the up & up either. It is all a sham & fraud.
1. The Players - You think these guys are real students who just play the game to pass the time. How many of these students do you think would be in school if there was no football team ? Would you chose one of these to do your surgery ,plead your case, or run your business ? Most players are not students, just players training for the next level.
2. The Coach - More than half of D - 1 coaches make more than one million dollars a year. It is a sick society that places that high a value on a game . I forgot it is not a game it is big business. What does Coach put first ;Player welfare or his pay check ? Will Coach break or bend rules to keep the dollars coming ? Does a bear sit in the woods ? Will Coach break the contract & take off if he gets a better offer ? A Coach is a Mercenary ! No More No Less .
3. The Fans - The real fans are not at the games , they can not afford it. Have you seen the price of tickets ? Now they want a couple of thousand before you can buy tickets. You tell me Big Bubba in the team cap fixing flats can make the game. Tickets are held by Big Corporate & are given to customers, high rollers & sometimes company peons & serfs. Look at the median income of Memphis & tell me who is at the game.

All this is not what bothers me. It is the HYPOCRISY that kills me.
JUST CALL IT WHAT IT IS PLEASE !!!!!!
