College sports are popular in states where NFL and NBA franchises don't exist such as Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Nebraska. College sports are more accessible to fans than professionals sports, cheaper, and there are more options to catch a game. Over 460,000 men and women compete in 23 sports at almost 1,100 colleges and universities around the country.
