Los Angeles County spent $119,875,696 on men's collegiate football teams in 2023, an increase of 8.2% over the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This translates to roughly 20.5% of all spending for sports teams at the 41 universities in the county during the 2023 season.

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.
