Call them what they are…BCS/FBS conferences are no longer about student athletes. They’re pro/semi-pro leagues shipping athletes across the country with little consideration of school schedules. It’s all about the TV ratings of some big teams. I’ll not be shocked the day the “Big 10” decides Indiana and Northwestern are no longer members because, well, because who will really care? It will be a matter of ratings, and these teams won’t draw the ratings of Oregon and Ohio State and others…so their “shows” will be cancelled.
The best argument for each conference keeping around lessor schools is that they want to have some cupcakes to beat.
Just wait until the top schools from the Big Ten and the SEC decide to band together for even more money.
Hard to be angry at the players wanting to get paid nowadays.
I know Men’s Football and Basketball largely fund the rest of the athletics program for all sports, but I wonder if some schools like Indiana eventually grow weary of being the cupcake, and go play in the MAC or some other conference? How about the cupcake conference? The Gateau Conference? Probably not enough people taking French these days to know what Gateau means…
How much fun can it be to walk in most weekends knowing you’re going to lose? How hard is it to recruit to such a program? Maybe we encourage the top teams from whereever to merge into one conference and spend their weekends beating on each other, while the rest of us watch college football the way God and Walter Camp intended..with real students with real entrance exam scores and high school GPAs working towards real degrees…you know, the student-athlete now often nothing more than a fiction.
As the saying goes, the answer to your all your questions is “money”.
Are these colleges not concerned about their carbon footprint?? LMAO
