The fact that you said not even useful to society in any way, and then continued with EXCEPT kinda points out how they ARE useful to society in some way. Models get paid a lot of money to stand there and look pretty. Actors get paid a lot of money to stand there in front of a camera. Are they really making such a difference in this world that they deserve that kinda pay? The revenue that comes in from a successful sports team (which comes from good players and COACHES) or that comes in from a successful movie, or the advertisement revenue from girls wanting to look like the pretty model they saw on tv is all high enough that the owner can make money and still pay those high salaries. Thats why they do it. If they weren't making money by doing it, they'd stop.
Thats why colleges spend so much on a good coach, stadium, facilities, etc. If they spend money on that, they start becoming successful and more good players want to go to their school. Better players means they become even more successful which in turn means larger turn outs for games. High game attendance means lots of revenue for the school which more than pays for all those expenses.
Dude, I said anyway EXCEPT entertainment because they aren't useful in any way BUT that. Understand?
And sure, screw models too. Why do we need them?
And some movies are actually educational.
But you know, it's your opinion.
"And some movies are actually educational" Yes, because educational movies get the same budget as the big summer blockbusters.
Entertainment makes money because people like to be entertained. Large demand = people willing to pay lots of money for it = people that provide it get paid a lot.
.
Also, while we are saying screw models and sports players/coaches, we better just include all those actors that aren't purely making educational films. And all musicians, who needs music? All its good for is entertainment. Oh and any fiction book writers! Why even write that nonsense thats not even true! Who needs it! People like J.K. Rowling definitely shouldn't make so much money after all is it really benefiting society?
This isn't talking about pro sports. That is an entirely different problem all together.
.
This is talking about college football. A subject rife with controversy, especially when it comes to money and compensation or the lack thereof.
Stop watching college football programs and buying their merchandise? You don't how many people i know shell money for bama go tide merchandise. I mean really the top football programs such as Alabama and Oregon usually make the most money and have top end facilities. I'm not complaining since I'm also a victim of supporting these programs and organizations.
Also schools support these programs because they make a ton of money. Many colleges have disbanded their division 1 NCAA football teams just because it was not winning and not making a profit.
