Message: [QUOTE="bendm, post: 5068041, member: 9151"] if your doomsday prophesy comes true and there are only 2 power conferences left with only ~40 schools then i agree. that's enough to maintain regional relevance in the college football obsessed southeast and midwest, but if most of the country has no vested interest then college football will and should die. HOWEVER the tv networks surely understand this. they clearly want to consolidate as much as possible but only to the extent that they can maximize profits in a sustainable manner. conservatively, i think that means at least 3 power conference's with ~75 schools spread around the country. and that's why we have to get into one of them. i dont foresee the networks messing with march madness either since they understand the value. but our future bball success is unfortunately tied to sharing football revenue.
