And now, the relegated list. The 12 programs that could disappear from the Power 5 without being mourned or noticed (Colorado was spared relegation due to a national championship in 1990, and South Carolina was spared due to admirable attendance for a bad product):

6. Illinois: You wouldn’t want to lose the Chicago market—but Northwestern is still there, in addition to scads of alums from more successful Big Ten schools. And who says the Illini deliver that market to begin with? Other than the Rose Bowl blip of 2007, this program has been a massive underachiever for decades.

No love for the magical 6-7 season two years ago?
