Conference realignment and the elimination of rivalry games has hurt the


sport as well. Real college football fans LIVE for those games. And then they create conference where members go half a decade without going to each other's campus, or even playing at all? That's not a conference people, it's a federation.

I think football wise that other than Clemson (and maybe Louisville who was starting from the bottom), there is no football program that has a better national standing post 2003 expansion.

Oh, and then there is the expansion and TV greed over cable subscribers (not even actual viewers) and conference networks.
