the NFL is still extremely popular, and they get great TV ratings for the draft, combine, and other various events in addition to their games.

College football has watered things down too much and is almost seemingly trying to ruin their product. That said, there is a lot of money at stake and they'll figure it out.

The concussion issue is a real one and hopefully time spent studying the issue and possible treatments will help things dramatically.

I guess, but with a major hedge built in.

Doubling down on football would have been making a bigger better football-only stadium. ND took a football-only stadium, made it suitable for other events like graduation and concerts, and appended a music building to it.

They have both kinds of music - Country and Western.

Agreed with this and 1978Irish above.

They cashed in on the willpower, fueled by football, to build something big. They designed it to last and be useful long after that willpower and even football itself are long gone.
