The day you disconnect from the regular fan is the day you start dying. The NBA is facing it with load management. The WNBA a bad product decided to piss off a portion of the fanbase that actually went to games.
I think college football has always had a MLB structure. Brands over the sport. I grew up in an era where the Pirates, Reds and A’s were a thing. Now they have no shot. They are priced out of the market. MLB has made good changes to speed up the game. Football as a sport seems to immune from all the outside pressures but there is a breaking point. Games are too long. Reviews are ridiculous making the in game experience less enjoyable. But eventually and sooner than later the non brand schools will be priced out of the market. All your good players are fleeced. Fans lose hope and stop buying season tickets. It still could happen what if Brown and Watson left? My guess is season tickets decline.
The current model isn’t sustainable and we all know that. What the future is who knows.
