Argument: Stanford won’t change its standards to remain competitive in the new order of college football.
Possible outcome: Stanford becomes a consistent bottom dweller by continuing major college football solely to collect its share of TV revenue to support the Olympic and country club sports.
Possible outcome: Stanford becomes a member of the Big 10 (12,14,16,18,20) solely to share in the wealth and is annihilated regularly on the fields of Champaign Urbana, Ann Arbor, Columbus and East Lansing. Gigantic TV revenue allows the Stanford Olympic and country club sports to prosper. Big Whatever enjoys the prestige of a Top Ten academic institution along with the athletic prestige said institution’s plethora of national championships brings to the table. Also the league’s member schools have a new patsy on their schedule.
Probable outcome: Consistent double digit loss seasons and decline of season ticket numbers to a 3,500/7,500 spread make the decision to drop football or drop into NCAA D2 easy.
