Well, perhaps, you are exaggerating somewhat to make your point?  Which, some others here have also shared a similar sentiment.  However, I'm not so sure the reality of what you stated will ever be the actual reality.  Is it possible? I guess so, but, IMO, highly improbable is the much more likely odds.  Sure, those teams could have bad seasons (according to their typical standards) but 2-10, 3-9 for "several seasons in a row."  In my view, that's likely never happening.  Those aforementioned schools, and the likes brass, would never stand for "several seasons" of such.  That is far from mediocrity, but rather complete failure.

One of the reasons the NFL is far and above other pro sports is the general mediocrity/parity of the league's teams.  However, it's at the[I] 'highest level of play,'[/I] and, that is a matter of most significance.  A team that went 7-9 or 6-10, had several legit chances in lost games to win that would've placed then at 10-6, etc.  There isn't that much that separates a 6-10 NFL team from a 10-6.

This NFL season kicks off officially tomorrow.  You can bet that NFL teams stadiums will be at or near capacity.  Even in cities of the usual suspect teams that seemingly generally find ways to lose vs. finding ways to win.  However, just as the case will be with the future inclusive college group, they are there, first and foremost.

What each school's leadership chooses to do with such inclusiveness, with all the granted/afforded means etc., well, that rests upon the stewards of their respective institutions.
