College sports are about more than just entertainment. Same with high school. Now, they have different levels and they move the teams around to among them as needed to at least make it somewhat even amongst teams in the same "league"...

But we really are talking about two different animals. Scholastic sports are more about the participants and the schools. The increasing commercialization of college sports has many negative and positive effects on what its all about, sure.

But professional sports are entirely different and I don't want to see 5 teams in New York and none in Kansas City because its what's best for business. A diverse league with every region represented as much as possible...with each team having its own identity (beyond dollar value identity) seems the most desirable to me.
