[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2015034, member: 746137"] Well said, and this is the correct end of the telescope to be looking through. How much money can you extract from consumers? Can that amount continue to show growth quarter-over-quarter, year-over-year? A lot of corporate share value is on the line for the notion that the screens on our phones and computers and TV's can burrow deeper into each of our wallets. It's not going well. As a non-profit enterprise that isn't accountable to shareholders for endless revenue growth, college sports should have been very well positioned to avoid some of the pitfalls and mistakes in this industry. That they didn't, and in fact are probably one of the worst offenders to me is a big lesson in the way that the overarching culture of business and leadership in this country (which produces University presidents and athletic directors as surely as corporate CEO's) has just totally lost the plot. But that's opening up a whole different can of worms. [/QUOTE]
