Private Equity and foreign governments are moving into college sports.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Example: Utah is moving its athletics program into a new for profit entity that will be owned by the university, a private equity firm & select donors. This includes a $500M capital infusion and operational expertise from the equity firm.
Now every program will be under pressure to follow this model in order to compete. We have started an financial arms race in college sports.
There is such desperation to compete in the high revenue sports like football and basketball, that many other low revenue college sports are being cancelled. Many of our Olympic athletes come from those programs which are being dismantled now due to the financial needs of football and basketball.

All of the above industries have been or are in the process of being destroyed by private equity firms buying everyone up and exerting corporate control.

Dont forget dentistry, and veterinary practices.
Tucker did an interview about this recently. Apparently veterinary video call appts are illegal in many states, even TX. It's crazy stuff

Are you mad about this? How is a vet going to check out an animal over a video call? Ask it how it’s feeling?

And vet clinics are being bought up too...charging enormous fees to pet owners.

So is the Vet asking how it's feeling, and getting a response, if it's brought into an office?? Smfh.
Initial simple things like rashes can be looked at. Or as the Tucker interviewee explains doesn't have to get his dogs stomach pumped, charged 5gs for eating some trail mix with a few m&ms in it.
If a human can have a video call, one can have one with their dog.

We need some teams to branch off and go back to what CFB used to be
It’s that simple
