I walked away five years ago, but still wanted to watch some football as I enjoy the game. I turned to college football instead. The game is more entertaining even if their method for determining the championship is still problematic. Plus, GEOTUS received a rousing welcome at the BCS Championship game. Same for when he showed up to the Army/Navy game and the regular season Alabama/LSU game.
Those aren't the kids going to the sporting events. It's also not the boosters who support the programs. Programs aren't going to risk losing too many of them. Those are the moneymakers.
Although the crap with the Oklahoma State head coach gave me some pause.
I'm not funding anything. I don't go to games, I'm not a booster and I don't buy their merchandise. Regardless, that's not where they're making the bulk of their money anyway. It seems that way, but the government is funding most of these indoctrination centers.
Besides, big sports is the last bastion of anything close to patriotism in these schools. As I mentioned, the reception for GEOTUS on three occasions last year in jam packed venues.
I also don't buy the "exploited" argument. They're getting a free ride to a meaningless college degree they otherwise would have paid for. If they don't like it, they can stop participating in whatever athletic it might be and pay their own way. Many are also free to try and play professionally and quit college.

I'm preparing to quit watching CFB this year. College aged kids are the #1 target of Marxists. It's coming.

Hopefully I'm wrong but I doubt it. It's coming.
Then you’re helping fund leftist indoctrination centers (universities) who exploit their most athletically talented students for money.
