Lot of good points in here.

- We as Syracuse fans support a program that has "dropped down" (ie we don't have access to the same $ as SEC and B1G teams, same talent, etc) - support isn't what it was, but it's still there.

- Relegation already exists but it has less to do with results than it does with geography, old partnerships, and most importantly fan eyeballs that lead to $. It's slow and ineffecient.

- We hear from SEC folks that "it just means more" and they are nuts for CFB. The NE is dead for football! But what about Buffalo Bills? Parity allows them to compete and it drives hope. The SEC and B1G want an NFL lite but it can't exist without parity and equal footing. I suppose the end game will be 1 big league where they are all getting the same chunk of money to claim a sense of parity. But if it's not diverse geographically it will cause the sport to stop growing in areas like ours (even more than it already has).

- I agree with you on the lack of parity and lack of central office being the driver of inequality. The TV partners would have to force it or the conferences would. Tough ask when money is flowing like rivers of gold.
