Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4015042, member: 833"] There are 4 (+1) forces all hitting at once. 1) Consolidation of top programs in the SEC driven by television and streaming. 2) NIL turning the recruiting dynamic on its head and likely fragmenting talent because kids got to play to get paid. 3) Anti-trust enforcement risk hanging over everything that any conference does now. The Alston decision is the law of the land, and that has implications beyond just NIL income. 4) Some groups appreciating that college athletics risks becoming regional if one league emerges victorious. 5) Not to be forgotten, football faces an existential threat from CTE. I do not how anyone can be an expert in how college sports will turn out with these large and conflicting trends. [/QUOTE]
