Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4025089, member: 6677"] UConn is not the only school that is in this situation, though they may be deeper in the mud than many. As the landscape of college football changes with realignment and the [B]continuing erosion of revenue from sports television continues[/B], I foresee a limited number of "blue blood" programs continuing to operate successfully. The next round of TV contracts are not going to be as lucrative. They simply can't be. The majority of schools will not have the economic firepower to maintain a meaningful football program on a national scale in the coming years. The game will become regional again with regional rivalries that hold some interest so there will still be games worth attending, but I see only a dozen or so programs that will garner national attention and the revenue that goes with it. I don't see the idea of super conferences of 20 teams as being realistic or sustainable. [/QUOTE]
