But if I am understanding this correctly; The college tier feeds the national competitive tier feeds the world competitive tier (Olympic athletics being the best athletes and most money/prestige).
Athletics runs on money and prestige. They will either have to backpedal or the college athletics of the US will collapse as their process no longer brings the best eligible competitors to the arena to participate in the highest levels of worldwide competition in any given sport.
Without sports, and with Americans no longer impressed with college academics or even believing there is a societal necessity or advantage for their educational product, what we're really seeing is the controlled demolition of establishment academia.
