Normal - a reminder that US Football probably brings in a LOT more money than a soccer club at an german university.
ESPN is doing something like $5B (billion) at maybe $450M per year going forward for the SEC conference? Some parts of that deal are going up 3x+.

So it's been going up like crazy. The key thing is to get the athletes paid in my view.
These sports are not your average rec league type pickup games.
That ties into massive fundraising by university that rides the back of these games.
