While the excellent college teams generate plenty of revenue to fund their scholarships and programs, I expect that many programs are funded by generous donations of supportive alumnae.
If these supporters are also patriotic, the flow of donations will dwindle. Then the college players who wanted “real power” will have no more scholarships and no more PR to propel them into the NFL and big money jobs.
It might take 10-15 years to play out, but would not surprise me to see it happen.

And that is not all. Television and mass merchandising revenues will also plummet, generating even further pressure on university finances - the big schools have a lot to lose. The campus leftists have a huge dilemma - loss of money to fund their leftist programs, or dissing America. They created the monster, might be worthwhile to see them deal with it.
I am glad I was able to experience higher learning when the debate and competition of ideas and creativity was valued, freedom of thought and expression was a given.
