How much of a Noob do you want to prove yourself to be? Go back a few decades and only a few teams were on TV. This is why teams like Nebraska were relevant in the 1990s. They were on TV, nationally. That has mattered less and less as more teams have been broadcasted. Aka less concentration of power.
When I started posting on Rival National board, not all of UCFootball's game even had TV cameras at them. I saw how that was changing and that lead to "UCF's Rise to Prominence" cited by UCFhonors.
But back to the UCFacts. Less power concentration. Ha. How UCFoolish youngins want to show themselves...
There used to be 1 entity that controlled all FBS TV rights. Having multiple entities would mean less power concentration.

Decentralization[edit]
On June 27, 1984, the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled in
NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma that the NCAA's television plan violated the
Sherman Antitrust Act. As a result, individual schools and athletic conferences were freed to negotiate contracts on their own behalf. The year after the Supreme Court decision, nearly 200 games were televised, compared to the previous year's 89.
[12] College football's television ratings slumped due to market saturation, and the price of a 30-second advertisement plunged from $57,000 in 1983 to $15,000 in 1984, while the combined take from network television fell more than 60 percent.
[13] Despite the monetary suffering of the universities, the additional coverage had a positive impact for fans of college football. "Everyone talks about money, but no one seems to care about the football fan. He is the one who benefited from deregulation. And he isn't complaining", said
Chuck Neinas, the former commissioner of the Big Eight Conference.
[14] Together with the growth of
cable television, this ruling resulted in the explosion of broadcast options currently available.
However, in the immediate wake of the ruling, most schools still decided to jointly negotiate their television contracts through the now-defunct
College Football Association.
[15] The
Big Ten Conference and
Pacific-10 Conference were not members of the CFA, opting to negotiate their own TV deals.

In case you don't know, the Sherman Antitrust Act is the tool to break up monopolies There isn't more concentration of power than in a monopoly. Stop being UCFoolish and learn your UCFacts. Decentralization is literally less power concentration.
