Increased travel harms the student athletes and destroying traditional rivalries will lesson ticket sales.  Will we come to the point where far fewer people attend the games and just the sports nuts watch them on TV?  Maybe the athletes themselves will no longer be true students.  Then college FB would just a bigger NFL.
