[QUOTE="EER X, post: 131786421, member: 1823987"] I think it's very much the same...at some point a group in NASCAR got very rich by increasing the price of everything (cost to participate, cost to watch in person, cost to air the product on TV, etc.). In the process, they were whistling past the graveyard while alienating all of the fans that made them what they were. When it started to fail, they tried all of the gimmicks such as "playoffs", rovals, etc, but it hasn't worked and now it's just a bunch of legacy trust fund babies racing in front of empty stands. There is no talent left, it's just the grandchildren of the owners. The football powers are doing the exact same thing, grabbing all the money they can RIGHT NOW. It will definitely kill CFB in the end because they are once again leaving the fans behind. The only reason I've ever watched Alabama is because I love WVU and the sport that it plays. Once WVU is not associated with those teams, I'll never watch them and neither will the majority of fans across the country that are being left out. If I want to watch elite football I'll watch the NFL. [/QUOTE]
