[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 949357, member: 4334"] The real question is what will college football even look like in 20 years. I could see large swaths of this country doing away with high school football by then. We have already seen huge swings in participation away from football into other sports such as rugby and soccer. We just saw which regions are willing to lock their people down for “safety” and the concussion issue will continue to give ammo to those who want to get rid of the sport. The SEC will be fine because this region will be the last to give in. USC and UCLA see it as they are living it which is one of the reasons why they jumped from from the dying PAC 12. Let’s face it, outside of the southeast college football is just not that big outside of a few pockets in Texas and the mid west. The TV contracts are a lagging indicator. ESPN/Disney are already regretting those contracts and ESPN may not even exist in its current form in 20 years. I don’t have any answers but I definitely see the trend and believe this sport is in trouble over the next 20-30 years from both outside forces and inside forces. [/QUOTE]
