First of all, the world has changed. Try to see beyond the immediate future. In my San Andreas analogy, you can see that the 50-story office building next to you is coming down. Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Alexandra D'Addario are coming up Wilshire Boulevard using a boat with an outboard motor, but you look around your own office and think, "So far, so good."
The old Los Angeles is over. We can't predict how the new one will look, but we can predict with confidence that the old one is gone.
Secondly, to me, Division III is no longer a Chicken Little calamity. That's the whole point of this thread. Read the headline.
We run some of the best academic institutions in the country (although, to be fair, that may be changing, too). Following Ivy League sports and rooting for our teams has been fun in part because the kids are bona fide students.
Richard Kent wants to get the Steve Ballmers to open up their checkbooks. And that's one choice available to us. I'm not interested. Why outspend your rival in the arms race when you have no interest in being in the arms race?
I don't need to beat Auburn or Baylor or Arizona or Missouri to enjoy following Ivy League sports.
