I agree with you that conferences and TV exist for each other in this day and age, but I disagree that it will be the Boise St.s that effect the change- it will be the Texases. They already have explored the option of a Texas channel- ND practically has it now and it\'s the reason they aren\'t in a conference.
Paradoxically, I think it\'s women\'s sports and non-revenue men\'s sports that will eventually save college football. If USC were to decide to become independent, it wouldn\'t surprise me to see the Pac-10 protect their remaining brand by refusing to schedule USC on any sport. In CFB, big whoop, they\'ll play Texas, ND, and Alabama. But it would not be sustainable to be independent in all the other sports.
And that is how title 9 will become the savior of college football.
