I agree.

The answer is money, of course. The university makes millions off those
players. At least, the big U's with established football programs do. The
smaller schools...i assume they spend the money on sports because it's
important to their students for one reason or another. Like i said, people
just love sports...and that includes the students and alumni who watch them
and take pride in them, as well as the students who play them.
