But if Fresno St's program (football) declines and continues to decline because good players that would otherwise be attending Fresno St, like they once did, (Derick Carr, Henry Ellard). end up accepting scholarships at your elite 4-6 universities in the race for the NCAA Championship-you don't see, as a Fresno St. fan, that as a problem ? Eventually, I see many football programs, even historically good ones ala Fresno St, dropping their programs.

To answer an earlier implied question by you: I have no idea how the number of scholarships are allocated and is it simply up to colleges and universities or is it part of the NCAA parameters.
