What you is said is true. But to quote Obi-Wan Kenobi... only "from a certain point of view." It all makes perfect sense if it was 30 years ago but now, the sport has overgrown those times to a degree. People are now investing thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars on SINGLE games. Even average fans who feel like the bank is broken paying for outrageously priced seats invests no less. And let's face it, almost every ticket of every game at P5 school is outrageous. The only exceptions may be uninteresting non conference games in the upper decks across the nation. These are no longer "matches" in the sense of non rev sports with a few dozen attendees and the more the merrier. These are now huge events complete with 60K "investors" and "donors." It is not as simple as the "be a big boy and stay home if you want" attitude suggests. Because that's exactly where it leads. Because that's exactly where it leads. Yes, that was typed twice on purpose. Let's turn it around and say, "no, you be a big boy and take of your investors." The investors in these "events" deserve better and their safety absolutely had better be on the mind of schools, conferences, and the especially the NCAA.
