This is a sign of the disinterest and the bubble bursting

The conferences feel like they have to nationalize their presence, to keep the viewers up for TV, because the regional market is not strong enough any longer to support what they need. In the latest crazy round of expansion, look at it this way, the B1G is using the Los Angeles market to replace those within its own market that have lost interest. The $64 million question is, will it work?

How long until the bubble bursts? When do the masses lose interest?

If the Big XII and ACC have guaranteed seats at the 16-team playoff to come

My only question is who is the "committee" that gives out these bids?

didn't see the segment, but I can tell you exactly where VT will be after
LonghornHokie • 07/06/22 08:42 PM ET
Colin actually did a good job mapping it out.. I enjoyed that segment **
MaryWashGrad • 07/06/22 07:27 PM ET
Yeah. First time I’ve been “ok” with all this, considering VT’s situation.**
hokieZ71 • 07/06/22 08:22 PM ET
It's not going to burst. Texas Alabama will grow it. Oklahoma Georgia same.

To have high profile games you need a broad market.
ColumbusHokie • 07/06/22 07:13 PM ET
I could not agree more about a Commissioner for the Power Conferences in
Stech • 07/06/22 08:25 PM ET
Well, without the Hokies playing meaningful games, I won't give a rip if
HokiesBill48 • 07/06/22 05:44 PM ET
It will hurt me too, if true, but I just don't see the Virginia schools out
Stech • 07/06/22 06:38 PM ET
Not sure I agree with that
LittletonColoradoHokie • 07/06/22 07:49 PM ET
12th state in population with DC next door, both ESPN & B1G want that but,
Stech • 07/06/22 09:59 PM ET
they probably don't and could very well be left out***
vtka93 • 07/06/22 07:58 PM ET
Agree and hope you are right. Fans of the big programs will be engaged but
HokiesBill48 • 07/06/22 07:15 PM ET
Same schools winning every year is borring!! I wanted the ACC to catch up,
Stech • 07/06/22 07:34 PM ET
You won't be alone.**
