I am generalizing but the fact is lots of different money makers can be affected when a school gets a death penalty and no one wants that to happen now
The point is this: if OSU falls off the side of the earth, someone else will replace them. Maybe Michigan or PSU or ND. Someone will take their place. Someone will take those kids and win those games.

ND has been mediocre/bad for a long time. They are as historically relevant as anyone. The NCAA is still making $. Miami has had more success than OSU in the last 30 years. Miami has struggled for a few years now. The NCAA is still making $. Michigan is a historically strong program that has struggled lately. The NCAA is still making $. Texas is another of the winningest programs in history. Last year they were 5-7 and 20 years ago they were nearly irrelevant. The NCAA still made $.

When someone plummets, someone else will replace them and the beat will go on.
