Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 5052916, member: 57"] I think college athletics needs to be very careful with the assumption that the viewer market is locked into the top programs. First of all, 10% of the market is an enormous piece of the market. The goal is to grow markets. Second, a lot of college fans watch the big programs compete becuase they identify with college athletics through their own affiliation. That model is all being upended and probably will be factured. I think that when the day comes that the average college football fan views Alabama, Michigan, USC, etc. like the view the New England Patriots, as professional sports franchises, college football is in a lot of trouble. I'm only one fan, but I was an avid college athletics fan. My viewership is way down and continues to decline. Am I alone? [/QUOTE]
