Chat Sports' James Yoder on the College Football Championship Game

CEO and Founder of Chat Sports James Yoder talks Trump and the thrilling NCAA Football national championship. Yoder says some fans were delayed getting into the stadium by as much as 45 minutes thanks to the President's presence. Traffic also came to a standstill in downtown Atlanta. The Alabama-Georgia title game featured the most expensive ticket in the game's history, with StubHub citing an average ticket price of $2,300, 41% higher than the last five championship games. Georgia's playing in their home state and Alabama's Tuscaloosa campus being just 200 miles away contributed to the high demand and inflated prices. Yoder says both teams are still loaded with talent, and expects both schools to contend for the championship once again next season.
