Big-time football has/had always been a fragile enterprise on The Farm. R.I.P.

Agree with this statement. However, one has to note that this is not the first time such a statement has been made. The football program had to return from being fully dead once and the number of epitaphs written over the years is large. I think the truth is nobody knows what will be true three years from now, so I am not as pessimistic about football surviving. "Big-time" is another issue, but even that is malleable.
