Well written essay on the subject:
https://lawliberty.org/college-footballs-death-march
Excerpt:
I don’t expect college football to collapse immediately. It may well enjoy a short-term bounce in popularity next year when the new playoff system debuts. But that same system will only hasten the erosion of the things that once made college football lovable. There will be more desperate attempts at defibrillation, but the ratings will continue to slip, as aging fans like me seem increasingly quaint to the juniors. If I’m alive fifty years hence, I may still be able to watch the Rose Bowl from my retirement home, but I’m guessing that I and my fellow residents will be the prime audience. “What’s a Rose Bowl?” may be the great-grandkids’ only question.
