Derp. Obviously The teams at the top can still be good. Why add poverty schools to that mix? Maryland? Rutgers? Lmao I was Lmao
well that's been explained ad nausem. That you don't agree with the business model is fine, that you think it's outdated is also fine, but even if you are right, which I'm not 100% sure I agree, it will be years before that happens. There will still be demand for college sports and someone will pay for it.

Like I said... that trend exists for a reason... And so do the projections of future TV packages
the reason the trend exists is that there are people opting out of cable, that doesn't mean everyone will in the next 10 years. I'm not so sure it will be cheaper to go ala carte for everything. I find it somewhat amusing that people whine and complain about paying $80 for cable, but will pay more than that for smart phne plans and another $40-50 for internet service. You have to get the content to your devise somehow, so if cable goes away, they can shift and we are talking years down the road anyway.

never mind that being in a larger conference with big schools would be a massive benefit if all channels ever went a-la-carte. The more grads a school has the more likely you are to have customers who would subscribe.
regardless, sports programing will always be bundled.
good luck getting all of the sports on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNews, SEC Net, Fox 1, Fox 2, FSN, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, Big 10 Net, Pac 12 Net, BEin, NFL Net, MLB Net, NBA TV, TNT, TBS, etc at a cheaper price individually than you can in a bundled package.
