Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 4341155, member: 3517"] This whole conference consolidation is stupid and I think long-term it’s killing college sports whose fans find themselves playing teams they don’t care about. I think this is a lot like big conglomerate companies that consolidate and eventually get too big for their own good. At some point these huge conferences will get small again as soon as there’s more value in breaking up. I don’t think the media companies/commissioners driving this realize how much the tv ratings will drop will all these teams changing conferences. The reality is there are still about 8-10 programs that are far more valuable than anyone else, so at some point the Texas, Michigans, Ohio States, Norte Dames of the world may just say “let’s form our own 8-10 team super conference”. In a 20-24 team league more than half of those teams will not be pulling their media payout weight. It actually just leads to more instability. [/QUOTE]
