Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 290118, member: 780"] I actually agree with most of this. I long for the Major Eastern Indies. If you can some how get us back to 1966, I am signed up. Just as Conference Championships devalue regular season games, so will a National Championship Tourney further devalue the regular season games. Our guy Boeheim just said the Big East Tourney isn't important. Only the NCAA tourney is important. I also agree that SU in the long run can't keep up in football. It lacks the size and resources and the location and the fan base. The drive to reduce the number of schools and to increase the value of a few games comes from Television and the media. That's what they want and they are the big winners in this. The networks and media would like college football to resemble the NFL. The big losers are the second and third tier schools. Their games are being reduced in meaning. [/QUOTE]
