Stop it.
If they could play games and get TV revenue without fans they would. They do not give a f?ck about pageantry...that is just marketing.
Stop being such a mark.
Btw...the xfl was good.

Nothing about marketing.
Watch a game at a school like Pitt or Temple and then a game at WVU or Penn State
What school would you rather watch on TV
The Pageantry and the excitement of college football is what draws an auidence more than the level of skill.
Without that you are left with average football.
ESPN is pushing the narrative that we can't have a season without fans.
