Meh

There was a point in time not all that long ago that schools didnt have every game televised and you had to either listen to the radio or read about the results in the paper the next day

That has changed and conferences growing and adding more intriguing matchups is a big driver in that

This benefits the sport at the end of the day

live sports rights is not looking like the automatic cash cow anymore, the consolidation of the super league will happen even faster.

The sport’s heartbeat is the regionality of it.
