How many fans and viewers would college football lose with the "Swarbrick Model" for lack of a better way of putting it? There will certainly be some percentage that will be turned off it, but for someone like Swarbrick to embrace something so radical, I would think he has some reason to believe any such attrition will be worth it financially. Of course, I don't think he's thought it all the way through, either.
