college sports. With NIL money about to happen, potential COVID shut downs, large debts at some athletic departments, and a few conferences about to re-negotiate TV deals, there could be some long-term changes in the works.

I don't know if that means that there will be any conference expansion, a few schools leaving to try independence for larger sums of money, conference realignment for less travel, or more schools ditching some of their sports programs. It could also mean nothing at all, but it seems there are some factors that could very well drive big change in the next 5 years.
