There is so much money out there for this. This is like global climate change. We have sounded the alarm so much over the last 30 years now that it is here we don’t even recognize it. Lol.
I totally agree with this. Many folks don't even realize what happened. One of college athletics most venerable conferences was wiped out in about 15 minutes. Why? Because the BiG saw the California market and said they have to have that. Market dynamics more than anything else are driving major college athletics.
And they are going to come for basketball money as well......
This has absolutely nothing at all to do with student athletes (now an oxymoron). The fanbase is only important to the extent that the largest conferences perceive they can retain and grow it - and they may very well be getting that wrong!
