I had never thought of it this way, but with the way technology keeps going, it could end the traditional on campus experience once and for all. And if that happens, what becomes of college sports? Further down in the article, it discusses the technology aspect. The first part talks about the "cable sports bubble", or some such.

Some people, like Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen, predict that in as little as 15 years half of the colleges in the United States will be in bankruptcy, upended by online learning and the move to hybrid models in which only select classes are taught in person on campus. Others see more incremental shifts, with virtual learning remaining a tool rather than a transformative technology in higher education.
