College football is no longer just a regional hobby; it has now evolved into a significant economic aspect. Its operations extend beyond local borders and continue despite any existing municipal boundaries. Higher learning institutions are still geographically anchored in their particular towns. However, the surrounding business has shifted to a virtual realm that’s propagating rapidly. It’s at a pace that law enforcement agencies can’t handle.
This pace creates a constant tension between slow state legislation and the national audience’s high velocity. This cultural wave of the sport is far too profitable to be held back by local law.
