Just been watching Beyond The NFL

on Sky (I recorded it a while back).

It's another world....the facilities at the Colleges would put our Premiership clubs to shame, David James and Martin Johnson couldn't believe it.
The College they visited had an indoor pitch the size of a regular football pitch.
Tickets for a college game cost $40-$50, that funds every other sport that the college have, a College team can take revenue of $15m a year!

High School games regularly attract crowds of 30,000!

The whole structure of the sport, for bringing players through, the draft system etc is so socialist it's almost ironic for it to happen in the US.
