The deans of these schools want to condense college football into one or two conferences and have the valuation of their sport franchises become as valuable as NFL teams.

They are sacrificing the quality of the education of their schools to make more money.

I don't have any bias against any schools, I am mad that the sport of college football is being destroyed and the education thousands of students are getting is being devalued because deans and athletic directors want to make money

This isn't also the first time something like this has happened to American education

It happened in the 30s when the ivy league and northern schools ditched football in the early 1900s-1930s to favor academics and become hedgefunds.

Then in the 60s the elite southern schools left the football conferences to try to copy harvard and yale and Chicago. IT worked for Tulane, Rice, and Duke.

We're seeing the result of the 1981 OU vs NCCA Supreme court decision of schools being able to sell college football themselves to TV studios, the consolidation of football programs into super programs, and the result NIL leading to some schools become monopolies in college football. They think they can be the NFL with their football programs worth billions.
