The college football game we all love began its death about 4 years ago.
It’s now just a money grab.

Vanderbilt probably brings mostly total indoctrination into the new one world government

Now we will find out just how important private email addresses from a vandy are.
This is something I never quite understood. It was like vandy had this severely important golden key to the conferences with their private school membership.
It was said here that Vanderbilt’s primate emails is how the sec circumvented FOIA to get ou and Tex.
Not sure if that is right.

Doubtful. Modern corporate greed turns every product that it touches to shite. It just leaches the spirit and soul out of it. Just like modern music and film.

Vandy needs to support their fricking football team. Their baseball is great, why can't their fans/admin support their football...

Those that don’t want to play will go back to intramural sports
That’s how college sports started in the beginning
This is all Aggies fault and bama gonna want more than Aggie in this conference

Where will Mizzou end up?

I actually don’t see why the idea of contraction has to be so unspeakable. College football on a national scale is a fairly young sport, around 100 years old. Throughout that time as the sport evolved, up until the last 30-40 years, contraction was fairly common as conferences and programs ebbed and flowed. Tulane and Suwanee eventually found themselves no longer prioritizing athletics in a similar fashion to their SEC brethren. Vandy is in a very similar boat. Its a dead weight game on every schedule. Fans and athletes alike don’t want to play them.
Everyone speaks of greed and money causing expansion but the true greed is a program like Vandy continuing to play football in a conference where it has zero chance of ever being a competitor, simply because it makes so much money. How is that fair to their fans, alumni, and athletes when they might have a realistic shot in the Big 12 similar to how Baylor built up their program?

The problem with that is someone has to lose games in these conferences. You can drop your worst programs but then you’re just making the tier above them the programs that finish at the bottom.
Hell, maybe that’s our true value. A fanbase that will come out to watch even when last in the conference.

No college fanbase will keep showing out through sustained losing and if they get turned into a have not there is no chance in hell they'll continue to do well at the gate or on TV.
You are correct that people seem to ignore kicking out the current lower class just creates a new one that in 10-15 years the exact same people will be saying "If only we could dump these bad schools and go from 60 FBS to the 30 real power teams."
