I see a bubble burst on the horizon. PSU is out ahead of this by decreasing the seating. Ohio State tickets are outrageously expensive and on that basis alone will suffer a decline when the Meyer thing passes into the night.
Three hour games bore the fans.
CTE.
Crappy bowl games.
I’ve been told it must be because of the unpatriotic protest.
Same reason why nascar and hockey ratings are dropping , too

Not sure what that has to do with ratings dropping in sportsI remember being told Hillary was a shoe in for president
I don’t buy #2, ESPN needed to change since the content everyone used to goto Sportscenter, NFL Primetime, Baseball Tonight and so on are easily available on everyone phones or tablets. The hot takes and goof balls like Rex Ryan are there to kill time until games start.1. Oversaturation of product. 2. Espn doing its best to make sports about anything but sports. 3. People see the fix is in. Dirty schools like PUS, UNC, Lville, OSU win and cheat and nobody cares, so why should we??? 4. Youtube cat videos.
In no particular order:
- I don't believe the younger generations care as much as the generation who came of age between 1960 and 1990. I wouldn't characterize this as the bubble bursting. But I think the air is seeping out of the balloon slowly and nothing is going to get it back in there. Younger people have decided they either can't afford or don't want cable and cable is the financial underpinning of the entire system as we know it. instead of watching as spectators younger people are choosing participatory sports like 5k, 10k runs, bike events, mud challenges and the like.
IMHO college football won't go away. It still has a loyal core, but that core is aging. I think it's relatively powerless to do much if anything about any of the above. So it will have to adapt.
You just reinforced the idea that with age comes wisdom.This is probably the number one reason. The generation who came of age between 1960 and 1990 are getting further and further away from their playing days. They have a disconnect with those playing the game today. And they are dying off. Or watching FOX News instead.
