Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 1385621, member: 1559"] Obviously, no school is leaving tomorrow. I am talking about down the road. Schools have moved conferences over time and schools will continue to move conferences over time. Anybody who thinks that college sports realignment is over is kidding themselves. And, schools will face tough choices down the road. Can I afford to build a new stadium? Can I afford to pay a coach to be competitive? Can I pay player stipends? Do I even want the university to be part of a sports minor league? Think about this. Syracuse football has been ranked once at the end of the season in the last 16 years. Why? Antiquated facilities. Hiring coaches on the cheap.... All comes back to investing in athletics and this eventually impacts revenue generation. Financially, private colleges are most at risk due to the size of their endowments and the limited ability to raise tuition prices anymore. [/QUOTE]
