Just some rambling thoughts here, but It is almost like, “Who cares anymore?”
Only the biggest brands are gonna get big time money from entities like shoe companies, and we know ESPN is involved with trying to prop up their brands (See Boston College President publicly stating ESPN told the ACC which schools to raid from the Big East - Pitt & Syracuse). The programs not getting the big shoe deals are not able to compete annually.
I believe most people will eventually be less interested in college sports as they turn ever closer to the pro model. Corporations are influencing the tide so that only the biggest brands will ever have any legitimate shot at a national title.
Fans that truly love their teams that aren’t blue blood programs will begin to redefine what they consider success, or they will lose interest. The network influencers and shoe companies are not going to quit pushing their interests. The ncaa clearly has less and less power to administer policy and enforce rules.
So why bother trying to take down Kansas when there are several other programs out there getting away with it, and no fundamental changes are being put into place to prevent it from happening again and again.
