This series of articles is not specifically about the Virginia Tech Hokies team. It is intended to be a deep dive examination of where college football looks to be headed as an organized entertainment. You didn’t read that incorrectly, either that is indeed the word “entertainment”. All sports are entertainment products, and we fans pay money to observe young athletes play a game. In the world of collegiate athletics, that money then provides a certain level of funding to both support the program and primarily to fund the student-athletes’ educations. As with anything that money touches there are “good things” and “bad things” that need to be balanced in order to make that primary mission of funding education.
