Hillsborough County spent $1,514,060 on men's collegiate football teams in 2023, a decrease of 0.2% from the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

College football is one of the biggest sports in the U.S., with some college teams eclipsing NFL teams in terms of attendance and profit.

In 2022, after a decades-long fight, student athletes nationwide gained the right to profit from their names, likenesses, and images as a result of a flurry of new state laws and an NCAA policy change.
