This is how it will end...(spoiler: im talking about NIL)

If you do the research and understand the power brokers behind revenue sharing you’ll see it’s imminent. I can assure you it’s happening. I’m a UConn donor and season tix holder and our AD sent out a recent email to us commenting about rev sharing. What you may see being adjusted is the NIL collectives and how they operate.

Good insight. I trust that. The one thing we can't control is how fan bases react to huge change and what the fallout will be. Whatever it is, it's not gonna be what we, or anyone can predict.

Good insight. That could be true. The one thing we can't control is how fan bases react to huge change. Whatever it is, it's not gonna be what we, or anyone thinks.

The fan bases of schools with lots of money, donor support, NIL love this. See SMU as a great example. They essentially bought their way into the ACC and guess what? They’re in the college FB playoffs. SMU agreed to not collect a dime from the ACC for the first 7 years of being in the ACC. Why? They have $250M in donor support.

I think it could happen if more competition drives down costs on certain platforms. Chord cutting will eventually hit every home. Competition for streaming viewership instead of cable airtime will be a dramatic impact. We may see prioritization for certain schools and individuals be a thing of the future. With more competition it could burst a bubble and eventually cause a rip in space time continuum. A black hole forms called BIG conference that scoops up big name brand in college athletics. Eventually it leads to semi-professional league affiliation that just keeps the school name and leaves education out of it. Paying players like institutional worker bees for our entertainment while the university students scratch their head asking why they spend 200,000 for a social media degree to get a sweet seat at the game when they were 19 years old.

I also have no idea what I’m saying. I think I’m going to tell my sons to learn a trade lol.

Mets fans are forever forbidden from complaining about NIL.

Do you really think you are the only person in the world that realizes that there may only be two, or even one, conferences at some point? Seriously, you think you are the only person that has realizes that?

I didn’t say anything about further conference consolidation and I don’t want that to happen… and no everyone’s been talking about revenue sharing on the realignment board but barely anyone brings it up on the bball board. Idk if it’s an ignorance is bliss thing or what
