All The College Championship Football Games Games Are On Pay TV.

79. I do have an issue with this.

This was also true of baseball playoffs (in fact, there are very few baseball games shown on regular tv at all during the season).

I take great issue with the blackout rules as well.

Professional sports teams get massive public subsidies for their stadiums. While also charging exorbitant sums to attend games. They should be forced to give back in some way.

Now I've figured out alternative means to watch, because I refuse to pay extortionate prices for non-competitive cable packages.

I have problems with college football in general, including the exploitation of those athletes (their "education" is largely a joke- they are essentially professionals but not getting paid for it and risking great, lifelong health problems), the coaches' ridiculous salaries, the use of public funds and tuition (to the extent that it happens) for football and other elite sports programs.

I would prefer we get rid of the fiction that these are amateur athletes and start treating college football and basketball as minor league professional teams. Divorce them entirely from the education system.
