Default TFR Question

I flew into College Station, Texas on Saturday for the Texas A&M/Kansas
football game. When I spoke with the preflight briefer, he informed me that
the TFR around the game would close the local airfield from 1 hour before to
1 hour after the game.

I have no idea how that played out, but I know that light aircraft
(particularly helicopters) frequently overfly my college team's games and
I've never heard of anyone being busted for a TFR violation. There are no
airfields within several miles (5) of my team's stadium.

What's going on here... Are these TFR's enforced or are they just a paper
tiger?

Enquiring minds and all that...

Aside: The most interesting part of the flight to and from the game was
seeing the V-22 Osprey up close and personal while enroute. I wonder if he
ever saw us?
