We are already seeing the changes at the high school level. Rosters are shrinking as parents fear the effects. The sport will either be significantly different in a quarter-century or it will be done. Either way, that will have significant impact on TV revenue and the college athletics business model.
Well said. A true long-term concern for the P5 schools who make boatloads of money with their college football programs.
