I have watched a lot of NCAA football this year. Tomorrow is the last day of good games until
the bowl games after Xmas. In an effort
to squeeze even more money out of “student athletes”, leagues now play a
championship game thus getting around the rules limiting the number of games
and generating more money for the big league schools.
These are the most meaningful games all year determining the schools
that will be in the final 4 championship playoff bowl games and seeding for the
other bowl games. It is a lot more fun
for players and their fan base to be in San Diego instead of Detroit in January
(or any other time of year).
I despise the hypocrisy of student athletes when the UW spent millions
to remodel their stadium moving the student seating from the desired middle of
the field to the shaded west end zone selling the naming rights to Alaska
Airlines for $40 million while refusing to
pay its workers a $15 minimum wage as voted on by the residents of the City of
Seatac.
I love the optimism of youth while watching college football. For example, Michigan State beat Michigan on
the final play of the game while never leading during the entire game. It was a crazy finish. Happens every weekend.
I am grateful for the entertainment of college football on TV. There are at least 5 or 10 good games every
weekend from September to December and during the bowl games.
