Top five college football programs and where most of their money is generated from and how they utilize this money.

Introduction to College Football

College football mentions to American football performed by groups of student athletes fielded by American universities, colleges and infantry academies, or Canadian football performed by teams of scholar athletes fielded by Canadian universities. It was through college play that North American football codes first profited attractiveness in Canada and the United States.

No college football team is a for-profit entity, as per NCAA regulations, but they are all worth money; the amount a team is worth simply depends of the status, patronage, and winning record and ticket sales of the football team.
