Next big time college football game you go to - count everyone you see working the game

in any capacity and multiply that number by 5 and you might come close to the number of people needed to put on a major college football game.

I think part of the issue is that most of the media guys that have hot takes on UF-LSU show up and take the elevator to their spot on media row, watch the game, write their story and then head home... they don't see/know everything that is involved in putting on the event.
