[QUOTE="Coloradojacket, post: 814404, member: 3070"] So think about this for a second. 25 years ago we did not have 50 networks with wall to wall college football. You sometimes had to listen on the radio. Second, only 20% of the population goes to college and a smaller subset attends schools with a football team. Saturday is no longer sacred. Highschool football is played on Saturdays in many places due to lack of facilities. Also families do other things on Saturday, like kids soccer and lacrosse. For us growing up in the South we have a different vision of what the rest of the country does. I would venture a guess that College Football viewing is upwards of 60% in the South. Also we drew our love of the game from our parents and grandparents who took us as kids to the game. Back when it was affordable. I pay close to $3,000 for my 4 tickets now and have brought my kids as often as possible. Moving back to Georgia will improve that but how many families are like me. If people are wanting to kill sports...we are doing a good job of it...but maybe that is in the plan. I wrote just such a thing 11 years ago. [/QUOTE]
