I think a lot of schools are going to drop football, they simply don’t have the money to compete with the big boys.

I don’t think that will happen.

IMO, eventually, 4 major conferences will emerge with 16 teams in each conference, 64 teams total, the conferences will divide up in divisions and use a playoff to determine the conference championship, with the winner regardless of record advances, the polls and some committee deciding who gets in will be gone.

Those schools that don’t get in a major conference will form a new division of college football where they can compete on a even playing field with each other and leave big time college football to the big 4 leagues.

Same deal with high schools. High school participation is down. Less kids are playing football due to safety and other distractions which was not the case decades ago.
