But you don’t ever hear about college baseball, hockey, etc.
In: Other
Baseball was a club/professional sport first before it was played in colleges. Football was basically developed to prove which university had the manliest men. It was a college sport for decades before the NFL came to be, and it was still much less popular because playing professional football wasn’t a lucrative enough career yet to be worth trying to do full time and they didn’t attract much talent and didn’t have the built-in fanbases universities had from their students and alumni. The NFL is much more popular now, but there’s still a strong college football culture.
