Donor fatigue will set in soon at most places
That's a good name for it.
Once programs hungry enough to throw money towards the opportunity to get a trophy, like the Indianas, SMUs, etc. get to a certain point, they'll either:
1. Win a championship and stop donating; or
2. See the novelty wear off and stop donating.
We're in the era of the smaller programs competing by bringing in large sums and recruiting elite athletes (which in turn dilutes the SEC, for example).
At some point that will trend down and those programs will become ambivalent again, realize it's too expensive to keep up, and drop out in some way.
The SEC will eventually come back strong in some form or fashion, but I'm afraid by then the landscape will have been irrevocably gutted.

After decades Clemson is headed back to the SoCon.
CU's gonna have to get serious about cuts - everyone is - those 7 majority lifetime BOT holders will likely be the last to budge as old habits die hard - especially after all the winning and titles since 2011 -
CU's football program has entered John Calipari/UK standoff territory with Swinney's salary and the changing landscape of NIL$ past 3 seasons - I fully expect the tigers to enter the SEC when the media rights cuts off in 2031 - just kick the budget can until then if possible -

Damn, Louisville is broke
You think we are the only one? LOL. The majority of schools are broke and are facing huge budget deficits
