In the past couple of years, college football has become a high dollar business whose primary purpose is to generate opportunities to sell tv advertising (in all its forms, i.e. live and cable) and generate revenue for schools, TV networks and advertisers. That's it, pure and simple.
The things you mention in your post are largely if not totally no longer relevant. The ony criteria that's relevant is how many viewers does your program command in the target demographics. Nothing else matters.
If anything else mattered, Texas and Okalahoma wouldn't be joining the SEC or USC and UCLA moving to the B1G. There wouldn't be a transfer portal or NIL recruiting.
America's Power Five programs have bumbled and stumbled their way into the real world of big time advertising sales. And perhaps most surprising is pace at which the change has occurred, a couple of years.
