Stay out of the spot light.College football is a small town flyover area sport and most fans view it as an escape from the BS of life for 1/2 a Saturday.  This game is a meat and potatoes game with a cold one on the side. It’s not a jet set big city wine & cheese game where they want something extra.  The fans just want the game and don’t care about anything else and they pay for only that.My advice to the powers that be, don’t think for a second you’re untouchable—see MLB & NAPCAR as examples of how quickly the crowd in the stands can change and go away.  Attendance for college football is dropping as it is.  There is a pandemic going on which will allow fans to realize they can save thousands by staying home in 2020 and find new cheaper interests for the future. I think the popularity of this sport will drop considerably just like a lot of sports as this goes on.The more players talk,  who in many cases can’t legally buy a beer due to age and don’t know jack squat about life, the more fans will be turned off and are more likely to stay home in the future .</blockquote>
