“It’s all about the almighty dollar. Loyalty means NOTHING. I don’t see how any conservative can support what’s going on.”

The current college football conference system is pure socialism.

Michigan and Ohio State finance the Big 10, Georgia and Alabama finance the SEC and Texas and Oklahoma financed the Big 12.

Why should the University of Texas keep West Virginia afloat and why should Michigan keep Rutgers afloat?

The NCAA is simply a system of wealth redistribution.

Every sports league is “socialist” to a large degree.

Why should the University of Texas keep West Virginia afloat and why should Michigan keep Rutgers afloat?

Because everyone wants to see Texas vs. Oklahoma and Michigan vs. Ohio State, but college football would last no more than one year if these were the only teams in the sport … and these pairs played each other ten times in a season before they all (miraculously) were selected for the four-team NCAA football championship playoffs.
