    Who the fuck turns up to watch students?


    ​​​​​​Not even students watch their peers

    You are clearly not familiar with US sporting culture.
    University sports are ⏃ massive deal here.

      Indeed, wikipedia-ing suggests 8 of the largest 10 stadia in the world (by capacity) are at US universities.

        And Michigan Stadium holds the US attendance records for both ice hockey (Toronto-Detroit 105,491 in 2014) and football (Manchester United-Real Madrid 109,318 in the same year)

                  Very much on the right lines Capybara , then a mis-step in the ending. (I'm not trying to turn this into another Line of Duty thread.)

                  Because the chain has now moved on, I'll tidy up and we'll play from ad hoc 's clue:

                  'Peeping' = definition

                  'Tom going out to' -> (to)M

                  ​​​​​​​*M YOURS IVE -> VOYEURISM

                    Ah thanks. I toyed with voyeurism (oo er) but couldn't justify it. But neither could I full justify voyeurist, which probably isn't actually even a proper word.
