This is an interesting sociological phenomenon unfolding before us. It seems painfully obvious that big boy college football is going to break off into its own small division. It’ll be like the NFL, except not nearly as good. It seems so obvious that the concentration of resources within fewer and fewer programs makes the game less interesting to large swaths of college football fans. It seems this will only continue.

At some point, there won’t even be an SEC and a B1G. They’ll drop Vandy, Missou, Ole Miss, Miss St, USC, Northwestern, Michigan St., Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, etc.

It’ll be a league of like 15 teams. Everyone not a fan of those 15 teams will stop watching. The revenue model will implode.

But greed won’t allow for this train to stop. I’m sure the powers that be are thinking, “We’ll just do this one realignment.”

Until the next game of musical chairs — in which everyone wants a seat. It’ll just keep going and going until it is whittled down to a handful of very rich programs and the whole country has lost interest.

That’s my prediction. Gonna be entertaining watching college football destroy itself. The game is going the way of the dodo bird anyway. Why not hasten the death, right?
