Saudi Arabia and College Football

[coachnorm]

I watch Josh Pate content on a consistent basis. Josh has generated content about Saudi Arabia acquiring sports globally, reference timeline 4:25 thru 18:40 time line on YouTube link attached. We all know about the gobbling up of professional golf and WWE etc. I posted, in the past, that the Saudis are targeting college football and included links in support of my claim. I have attached four attachments to this statement to fellow elitedoggers. The first is Josh Pate himself, just absorb the beginning of the long presentation then absorb the following three attachments. The Saudis have encroached into college football, in America, thru business in London to keep their profile low. Genius has a contract with college football to have media stat rights for gambling purposes. This can be figured out by absorbing the Genius attachment.

FYI the Saudi Royal Family acquired Karim Benzenma a 35-year-old player from Real Madrid for $215 Million dollars a year. The NFL salary cap is $225 Million dollars a year.

I'm not reading any of your reference material, but as far as them getting involved in football, buying the USFL (or whatever the current Spring League is called), may be the best bet.

What's their end game here? To diversify from oil long term by buying into sports now?

That would make sense for pro leagues, not so much college

EDIT: Watched the video. The "point" is PR- by investing money these conferences, athletic departments, individual women's sports programs etc the Saudies buy influence over how those institutions discuss Saudi Arabia, and more importantly they look like saviors to us fans. "My school was falling way behind Georgia but then Saudi Arabia donated $$$ to our program and now we've made the playoffs!". If college athletes become "employees" they'd loose scholarships and women's sports would crumble; if SA backed them financially you'd have millions of feminist women have to give credit to SA for helping women. That would be massive for theor brand on that issue.

They aren't trying to make money, they're manipulating us via sports; we love our team, and anything that helps our team (even oppressive Sharia Law enforcing dictators) we will protect.

Imagine if the SEC had a UK firm bank rolling their NIL. That UK firm bank rolled by the same assholes that organized and funded 9-11. Osama Bin Laden would have been nothing without Saudi influence. Sure, he was rich by himself, but not Saudi rich.

The Public Investment Fund has estimated assets of $650 billion. Whatever they want to 'own', there will be more than enough folks stepping forward with their hands out. And, yes, that includes college football. We can lament the reality of it but it's nonetheless real.
