They say that empires fall when they get too big for themselves. In a literal sense, that meant that back in the day, territories became too far away. Kings were too far from their people.
Today, we use the words 'empire' and 'dynasties' when it comes to sports.
And when those go down, it's when they've become too popular, tried to do too much.
And I'm beginning to think that's just what might happen with college football.
Life is good in many ways for America's most popular sport on college campuses.
The best regular season in sports keeps fans locked in from Labor Day until past Thanksgiving. Three months of fine football, usually followed by a compelling national title matchup.
Sorry, college basketball, but your regular season draws nary a glance compared to a primetime October showdown for college football. You can have your three weeks of fun in the NCAA tournament, but America hardly cares what happens in November on the hardwood.
