Well, I look at this from another perspective. Actually those smaller schools that lose 56-0 against bigger schools benefit from the television money that otherwise their schools would not see.

For sure. This is much larger than just the game. There are other factors including money for enhancing on-campus athletic facilities.

the smaller, less affluent schools do benefit from playing a big school with huge attendence and a tv package...

however, its pretty ridiculous that some big schools play several of these smaller schools just to get it in the win column.
