This could get interesting soon.

Per ESPN: "It's evident we're going take a hard look at the structure and governance of the association and have a discussion about values and a discussion of goals,'' said Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, a member of the Division I Council. "We've talked about modernization of the rules, well, perhaps its time to modernize the association. So here we go.'' ***** "I think it's really the shifting legal environment, the economic environment, the political environment, all of that, that creates this opportunity in a lot of ways to stop and erase the blackboard and draw a new chart again," Emmert said. "And that's a really, really powerful opportunity that can't be wasted." We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

That shot across the bow this week with a 14-0 vote to accept Texas and Oklahoma by the SEC prez’s all but rendered the already weakened NCAA virtually meaningless and the SEC the new King that will dictate the terms going forward. I’m of the belief that there may be a re-alignment of the Big10-PAC12-ACC-Big12-Notre Dame into maybe 2 or 3 super conferences to compete with the SEC and they will leave the NCAA desperate, dateless and powerless. I’m also of the belief that the MAC-CUSA-SunBelt’s etc. of the world will be forced to eat at the Kid’s table even more so under this new world order. I think some additional shake ups and shake-outs will start to happen pretty quickly interesting days ahead for college sports.

I don't believe the SEC is the new king yes they now have the most major football brands. But the SEC has the problem that you have to have someone else to beat and push around or what does it matter. What makes college football appealing is it is regional. Yes there are people that only care about the biggest games. But i know a lot of people that live in the midwest that on a average week could care less about the SEC until bowl season. I actually think. That yes the rich are going to get richer and yes there are going to be super conferences. But i think the SEC and most people know that the cash cow is in giving more people the belief they have the opportunity. I think now you are going to see the conferences agree on a set of rules that they all agree too and the NCAA will just be a place these things run through instead of the NCAA making the rules. All the power and enforcement will be at the conference level. We have to realize the NCAA is more then just Football. But in the present world and in court rulings it is useless in its present format. My Guess is the NCAA or what replaces it may become more of a title then a actual place. But who knows a month ago i would of never of dreamed of texas and oklahoma in the SEC Back to Top Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,209 Status: Offline     RE: The NCAA is bailing    Posted: 7/31/2021 6:34:45 PM  The NCAA will become essentially what the commissioner of MLB has been since Fay Vincent was ousted -- just a figurehead organization that will nod to the conferences.

The jig is up for the NCAA as currently structured. It'll be interesting what it becomes, but my guess is that football and basketball are broken away completely, and operate under a different governing body as actual businesses affiliated with the universities. The NCAA as we know it will likely oversee olympic sports, and lower level schools where amatuerism is actually an apt description.

Had an online english class to complete, which I believe was final today 8/3 and he has his diploma.

I restate my case, SEC is the driving force in the collegiate football world and the NCAA doesn’t know whether to $hit or wind their watch. Outkick even has an article on it. Sure looks like a couple of super conferences as the remnants of the Big12 and the largely irrelevant Pac12 are now in conversation as to what their next moves should/could be. Interesting times ahead and I don’t think it bodes well for the Little Sisters of the Poor conferences such as the MAC-CUSA, etc. Back to Top Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,209 Status: Offline     RE: The NCAA is bailing    Posted: 8/3/2021 11:24:58 PM  Saw a headline pushing for an all-Texas conference with all the non-SEC 1A teams.

And to be honest, I don't think the "bigger schools" would not object to being the bigger dogs in this conference. Invite OK State and maybe NM State, I think it would be a fun little league. Otherwise, build out a 2nd tier of the FCS schools underneath them and have a strategic scheduling partnership for football and the basketball non-league schedule.

As the changes college football is undergoing increasingly widen the competitive gap between Ohio (and the G5 in general) and those in the new power conferences, there will be a corresponding disinterest for me as well. If the powers that be think everyone is going to simply switch to another team when their team or conference is further stripped of any relevance I think they are mistaken. Having said that, they probably don’t care that much. What perhaps should be of more concern to them, however, is I suspect that even many alums of power conference universities have, or will have, somewhat less reverence for the game (and team) than they did. For instance, will they still be as interested with regional rivalries disappearing in a lot of cases? Do they feel like the football team has the same student-affiliation with the university it once had and, if not, can they relate as well to it? If people want to watch the ultimate in pro football will they begin to focus on the NFL? Over time that “big pot of college football gold” everyone is fighting over may start to dwindle.

Completely agree. The gap between the haves and the have-nots is getting so large, it doesn't even seem like OU is playing the same sport anymore. We weren't on that level before, but at least there was an illusion that we were in the same division. Between the constant conference moves, the NIL stuff (how many Ohio players are going to get NIL deals?), the ever-growing influence of ESPN... it feels like the whole thing is made to flow cash up to the Alabamas of the world, and either you're in the club, or you aren't. And we aren't. I follow Aston Villa in the English Premier League. In 2016 they got relegated to the second division. It's still the same sport, Villa was just playing different teams from before, but just knowing they weren't "at the top level," even the bottom of the top level, it just wasn't the same. This feels not-dissimilar.

I think that this is almost inevitable. It took years and years to build up the kind of loyalty that a lot of folks feel toward college football and their favorite school. It'll take a long time for that to dissipate, but I think as the generations roll on college football (and maybe other major college sports as well) are going to be less and less relevant because they will be increasingly viewed as semi-pro and not really an integral part of the university's whose name they bear.
