It's because TV execs are badly misreading how many people who aren't diehard college football fans care about the sport (hint: not many). Consolidating all of the biggest brands under one umbrella and cutting out rivalries and traditions is not going to make Guido Joe from the Bronx suddenly drop everything he's doing to watch that USC/Ohio State game.

You know who would have watched that USC/Ohio State game? The Oregon State fan the TV execs are shitting on in Mandel's response. That's the fan college football is going to lose.
