re: Big TV betting on Consolidation in NCAAF

I think there is a group of fans who exist that literally only watch the major brands play eachother and I think that number is larger than the number of 4th generation families who have gone to Kansas State games since 1957 and are going to refuse to watch out of spite

These groups of fans can coexist in the same world. Why would TV execs want to alienate one of those groups of fans? The casual fan who only cares about big games would still be able to watch their big games as it stands now.

They also won't be watching if those big brands are having shite seasons, which will happen a lot more often as they consolidate into one large umbrella.

What happens when TAMU is left on the chopping block? Are they a top 40 team in the nation? What if the SEC needs to make room and they throw them away alongside Vanderbilt and Kentucky?

I think those big national matchups across the country get so much juice because of their rarity. When OSU and USC becomes a yearly thing, it will lose interest somewhat quickly.
