Agree. I haven't read a good write up yet, but anything which substantially adds to intercollegiate sports costs will result in more schools dropping sports, esp. football.

Here is a definition which is close: "reduce the extent of (something) by removing superfluous or unwanted parts." Something dies because of lack of water and nutrients (e.g., a plant).

Since this is the "Money Monday" thread (and today is Monday), universities would need to find additional revenue sources. Maybe an extended CFP could add say 1 - 2M per FBS school.

It is possible that both revenues and expenditures will continue to rise. FCS schools might get hurt the most because they don't share in CFP monies (think I'm right on that. They do share in the NCAA March Madness monies, though).
