Cache County spent $15,320,376 on men's collegiate football teams in 2023, an increase of 4.4% over the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This translates to roughly 33.6% of all spending for sports teams at the Utah State University, the only institution in the county during the 2023 season.

The average sports expenses at Cache County have grown 137% since 2010.

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.
