One point I saw brought up on a different board is that this will be the end of the small market schools. Those with less than P5 budgets were already having a hard time competing, and with all the extra administration costs and staff this will bring, a lot of smaller schools will just close down athletic programs instead of dealing with the extra costs and headaches.

It will be the end of college sports, and only the big boys will compete in a NFL,NBA, MLB type of training league

That means a lot fewer fans to watch college football!

Plus, if Power 5 schools start to exclusively play Power 5 schools, then you'll see a lot of money dry up in the Group of 5. Schools at that level already operate in the red. Add another potential bureaucracy within those ADs and you'll probably see some programs close up.
