So looking at the conference results this year I got to wondering has the brand been diluted. By this I mean at 14 teams is the conference now too big to provide enough blue chip players and coaches across the board. It's just a pondering but look at the number of down programs this year.
There aren't 14 "Sabans" to be had.
Players wanting to play in this conference have more options now.
Are we getting a proportionally larger number of blue chip players at 14 teams? Like 14/12ths more?
The conference beats itself up playing the conference schedule.
I'm sure there are other things to consider. But is 14 too big? Is that an issue for the conference as a whole? Does it help or hinder the overall product on the field. It's obvious that more teams is more events is more revenue etc... But that only sustains if the product warrants a premium.
Thoughts?
