College Football is a classic Mafia "Bust Out".

A Mafia "bust-out" is a fraudulent, long-con scheme where organized crime members take over a legitimate business, exploit its credit to buy massive amounts of inventory, sell the goods on the black market, and leave the business bankrupt with, or "busted out". It is not a smash-and-grab, but a slow process of exploiting trust.

So long as it's private money, non of my business. But this reminds me of the Restaurant Bust Out in Goodfellas. These dudes could not survive a one-year fan strike.
