“The Cost of Doing Business, Oh I Mean School” College football has become big business. With the CEO’s of the universities, oops I mean “Presidents and Deans” bringing in the big money. It’s a genius idea really. They bring in millions of dollars each year and do not have to pay their employees, so it’s a hundred percent profit. Yes, they say they pay their players by giving them the value of a free education. How free is it? Not just on Saturdays but every day of the week the players but their
enjoyment for ages. Employees will call in sick off work and pay sometimes hundreds of dollars to see a simple baseball, football, or basketball game. But what causes this behavior? What would make someone paint their body and go shirtless to a College Football game in 20 degree weather? Why are sports video games so popular? And how much money do these

College football is the most exciting, and most watched sport in American society today. Most Americans in the nation have a favorite college football team that they root for. In some households, the house is divided because both parents have their own separate team that they root for.

In recent discussions of college football sensation Leonard Fournette, a topic of heated debate has been rather football players should be required to attend college before entering the N.F.L. The current rule in place requires that players be at least three years out of highschool(Knowlton).

Ultimately, both male and female sports will have to be cut because

As an athlete I followed two sports I had a deep passion for, football and rugby. The only two sports where my intensity and rough mindset would fit perfectly. During the past summer I went to a camp on Oahu called, G.P.A. 2016 Football Showcase. It was a first time at the position I chose, cornerback. The showcase was three days long, as the weekend went on I

A Football Life Football has been a big part of my life ever since I was a little kid. I almost always tried to play football when I could with my brothers if they weren’t busy messing around. During recess in grade school my class would try to start a football game and I would be the first in to be picked on a team. My first time being on a “football team” was in little league my third grade year and I’ve never missed a year yet now that I am a senior in highschool and I’m hoping to continue it
Do you think picking your 4 favorite types candy is hard? Wouldn’t it be easier if you where able to chose your favorite 8 types of candy? Well right now it is like that with college football playoff system. During the BCS era they had one game between the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams and the winner would play the number 1 ranked team for the national championship. All the brad new FBS does is add one more game therefore only adding one more team, so instead of just adding one more team to the mix, this
