College football is on the same path as MLB. They have a game dominated by the same few schools and it’s quickly becoming a regional game with limited national interest. The greed of schools has destroyed old time rivalries and half the country doesn’t care. Many fans of G5 schools don’t even bother tuning in.

It probably stems from a lack of talent or players. A lot of these top prospects are coming from families with deep professional athletic roots. The kids making it out of urban areas are trying to beeline to the NFL and need the right program to get them there. There aren’t enough players to support the perennial USC OU UN Miami’s of the world. We are probably going to get a cycle of Clemson FSU, Fla UGa Auburn LSU Bama, B1G East, every year. The PAC 12 is becoming an afterthought, as nobody on the west coast cares anymore. That to me stems from a lack of overall players, similar to what MLB had to overcome with blacks participating less and less. But MLB had been able to grow a huge following in Latin America. I doubt American football can achieve this and get and influx of European talent.
