They in big trouble as a going concern.

This was my biggest fear when COVID started that the smaller conferences wouldn’t be sustainable going forward

Once the big conferences realize that they get bigger TV revenue from massive games than they get from attendance (and dirty secret, attendance and season ticket interest will INCREASE when fans realize every game they see is a good one) ... these smaller programs are in significant trouble

If Gerberding were alive today to see college football collapsing, he'd have a hard-on the size of Florida

Maybe I’m a heartless wench, but I don’t think these smaller programs should survive this. Their economic model is unsustainable and they’ve been propped up the money they make from playing bigger schools for too long.

Plus, anything that gets the P5 teams to start playing meaningful OOC games again is a good thing.

Oregon State vs. George Fox could become an annual thing

Your probably more right than wrong, but I still don't like it. I fear it will have a negative roll-downward effect on the sport.

I don't fear it. I welcome it. It's time to move on. They game has been ruined for 15 years or so and it's getting worse.

By burning it to the ground maybe there is a chance to rebuild it to it's former greatness

I have mixed feelings about it too. Right or wrong athletic scholarships provide opportunities for many to attend college, for example. The football teams also provide entertainment and economic benefits to the small college towns, like Cheney.

But like their Power 5 counterparts, these smaller schools’ ADs have gotten too bloated. Time to dial it back.

College football in general is too bloated. Gameday at Husky Stadium at Alaska Airlines Field or whatever it's called feels more like going to a Seahawks game than a college game.

Is Big Ten considering bubble football?

It’s liability issues first

Ultra liberal University Presidents are always going to focus on liability and limiting bad press ahead of everything else ... it has and always will be about that
