eli5: Why are college sports so popular in the USA?

Some of the biggest sports stadia in the world are US college football stadia. It was recently reported that 92,000 people attended a NCAA women's volleyball game in Nebraska. Why do so many Americans care about these amateur sports events?

Here in Europe intervarsity sports contests rarely attract more than a few hundred spectators. There are some exceptions like the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge, but that's more of a social event than a sporting contest.

Why doesn’t Boston have really any big college sports programs?

I mean Boston has more colleges than anywhere else in the world. And in professional sports Boston has been a consistent powerhouse. Philadelphia has a few and just about every city seams to have a notable program. Why doesn’t Boston have a few solid programs? While this isn’t necessary a diss at BC, you know what I mean.









[Pete Thamel] The SEC and Big Ten are set to announce that they are setting up an advisory committee. It’s expected to look at the entire college sports landscape and solutions within it.
