The real question in my mind is what the networks (ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox) will have to say in 2030.

They could come in and dictate what teams get to stay with the big boys, and what teams don't.

I wouldn't discount this idea at all. It could happen. Conferences could dissolve.
Agreed.  And what will they be looking for?  The programs that add value.  UNC?  Force ND's hand?  Is it going to lean towards programs in big cities (GT, SMU, Miami) or programs in fertile recruiting grounds (FSU, Miami, GT)?

Idk about Nebraska ever being a big boy again.  Sort of in the same boat as Tennessee, except that UTK borders talent-rich states.  Nebraska doesn't border anything helpful.
This century, by win%:
Texas Tech
Nebraska
Pitt
Tennessee
NC State
South Carolina

So Minnesota and Princeton should still be held in high esteem?  Yes, history matters.  But ancient history not so much.

That's why I went to 1950. The only trouble with that site is that they include Boise, etc.

Out of that list of teams by wins, only a select few have won an MNC this century.

it's about TV ratings

wins, titles, trophies - nice but the $$$ is in the ratings

Sure but consistent winning, and consistently winning big games, improves ratings.  A lot more people tune in to Clemson games now, than were tuning in 15 years ago.

Correct, in projecting out you want some predictability.  Michigan, OSU, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas, etc... have big fan bases because they have a history of winning, and have a larger non-alumni fan base than less successful programs.  When teams are good, they draw.  Oregon draws right now.  Clemson draws right now.  I loved watching Kansas State and Colorado in my formative years.  But when Kansas State and Colorado fell off, I stopped watching.  When/if Oregon and Clemson fall off, the same.  When Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, Alabama, etc are down.  People tune in to watch them get kicked.

If Florida State and Clemson wallow in an irrelevant conference for a decade, how many non alum fans do they have?  How many non-fans care if they lose?  Am I more apt to watch a Nebraska or Tennessee game than a Clemson or Oregon game right now?  No.  But I certainly will watch them over Iowa or Kentucky or some other mid-tier team in their conference.
