Does the erosion of the the ESPN model forebode a change in the business model for college football programs? If ESPN and others can't make money on the massive broadcasting deals they sign, then conferences will get less money. Which could result in lower coaches' salaries, perks for athletes, amenities, etc. Or will the conferences generate money in more direct to consumer models and make as much or more? Or do football programs all get funded by wealthy donors?
