That's one of the results of the reset that comes eventually when the top 20-30 money schools break away to keep 100% of the pie to themselves. The arms race will effectively be over for everyone else regardless of conference affiliation, and the most corrupt faction of college athletics will finally go off and do their own thing as a legit minor league.
I think there's only one group of schools that walked away from the revenue of high level college athletics willingly. That was the Ivy League, whose graduates run the Supreme Court, the Federal Reserve, the White House, and can raise more alumni donations in a lazy afternoon than most schools can raise in a year.
NFL is directly related to Kaepernick thing. Ages 15-24 the viewership is down, but that doesn't correlate to a 14% decrease; that would belong to Kaepernick for the most part.
Hasn't sports in general seen a decline over say the past decade or so? Everything from attendance to viewership? Anecdotally it feels more like a changing of the guard in terms of demographics. People that have spent their whole lives watching sports and parking themselves in front of the TV for hours and hours are being replaced by a generation that spends little time watching TV.
Actually 15-24 year olds would as many more are nerds than ever before, and no one cares about hockey.
Scarcasm, but the truth of the matter is, hockey is beginning to die.
Hahahahahahaha
are you high?
An impressive package no doubt and we had basketball accomplishments that the others couldn't show. With all of this the rumor I read was we were middle of the pack among the teams considered. First is that likely true and second if so is the reason strictly football?
They wouldn't have made this statement unless the Big East actually agreed to us returning in all sports but football. That statement surprised me .
From my conversation with Benedict it became clear it was location that really hurt us. But read between the lines here. They chose NO ONE. They were enticed to do so by ESPN. If they had decided to expand, no one can say who they would have taken.
Liessssss
