This isn’t about this season. This is about the next twenty.
Just to use LSU for example. What if they go on a decade long drought during the NIL era?
What if they do? It's happened before in the Pre-NIL ear and they still had plenty fans. College teams aren't like pro-teams when winning drastically changes their number of fans. LSU fans are going to remain LSU fans no matter what because they have connections to the school and the team that go beyond winning or losing.
