Why or how (or will) self-funded "college" teams stay attached to colleges?
Seems like many teams are becoming bigger than the departments and colleges they are "attached" to. Tail wagging the dog.

If the relationship continues to make sense going forward purely for branding reasons, but not really for any other reason, how will that "attachment" change? Will colleges basically rent their brand to an otherwise independent organization that runs the team?

I'm sure the relationship will become very different for FB/MBB vs. all other teams.
