> the spectacle of college athletics seems bizarre
Unlike European football, in the US town-based football seems not to have taken off quite so much. The college scene, possibly because of affinity to elites, became the one that got the self-reinforcing money spiral that led to it becoming really big. This leads to weird distortions where the most highly paid public employee in many states is a sports coach.
