As @mulderbatflip.net noted, if you compare the ~$50M Ohio State is spending on its massive entertainment property to what a single .226 MLB batter is making, you start to imagine what a sweet bargain college football is for ... Ohio State.

Until Saturday is The Athletic's free college football newsletter.

Well...the Dodgers pull in $1 billion revenue each year. OSU football generates only 1/6 of that. I don't see any real bargain. I see the reason schools think we "need" a 96 team NCAA tourney and a 24 team playoff. Schools are increasingly spending a lot of money they don't have.
