Here’s a multiple shocker story. Did you know:
- BCS schools pay big money to very bad teams to come to the BCS school’s home stadium for a beating.
- That the patsy schools make a ton of money that funds the football program and a lot of the rest of their athletic department.
- That the price/demand keeps going up.
- That the addition of the 12th game in college football is all about making more money for schools.
Expect some variation of this story to appear multiple times each year. The first time I read a variation of this story was in the Wall Street Journal in 1998. The only thing new is the 12th game stuff.
Here’s one that talks about I-AA schools being likely to hurt themselves financially if they add a 12th game.
