[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 477855, member: 2957"] I read an interesting take on this a few hours ago. Another view is that cable TV rights (e.g., ESPN) will go away by 2024 ... cable is dying and the technology shift is toward streaming ... which doesn't carry nearly the same payouts. In other words, AD's are going to have to put butts in the seats again. It's all going to be about "the product", so that means playing strong opponents that paying fans want to see (no more University of Louisiana - Lafayette). Coaches won't be able to deliver sub .500 performance and expect to last very long. Merchandising will play a larger role. The theory continues that that there will be a 32 team FBS ... split into 4 conferences of 8 each ... and they will divide a much smaller rights pie. But because the pie is smaller, they may take home the same or more because they won't have to share it with 70-80 other teams. [/QUOTE]
