That is harder to earn. It takes more National media reps... plus winning.
We had a lot of National media this past season in basketball on the mainline ESPNs, plus the Bowl drew a nice TV audience.
@flyonthewall when it comes to number of schools being able to afford this, how many do you think are out there?
Assuming that there will eventually be a breaking point, I just assume that there can only be, like, 5-10 programs that can continue along this path. 5-10 programs for a pro-like league? Or are there more?
And will the remaining programs in NCAA collectively agree to go back to the old model? Let those 5-10 super-budget schools have their own league and be done with them. Let them be some kind of NFL-feeder while we enjoy our true student athletes for 3-4 years again.
