Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2377167, member: 37"] [USER=6581]@shizzle787[/USER] is correct that studies and technology will be able to detect CTE on the living. This will only increase the liability factor. I think his 5 year time frame is too conservative. OTOH there are helmets being designed which look promising in limiting if not eliminating concussions. OTOOH soccer is becoming popular in this country to the point that viewership and participation could impact football. College sports, like everything today, has a lot of uncertainty. It will be interesting to see if there is further erosion of ESPN subscriptions and how that impacts media coverage and conference contracts. My thinking is the P5 ends up as a P6 with 120 or so teams in order to consolidate basketball distributions in a similar manner that took place in football. That's the next best play for a money grab if my uninformed conjecture is correct that media monies to conferences might have peaked. [/QUOTE]
