Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4145949, member: 3609"] They can't "just rescind the rule"; they didn't impose this rule on the schools and conferences. The schools and conferences voted to impose the rule on themselves. Despite what a lot of people think, the NCAA doesn't just invent rules and arbitrarily impose them. The schools have to approve any rule proposed by a school, conference, or NCAA HQ and agree to impose it on themselves. The division rule covers FCS, D-2, and D-3 as well. The P5 has made a carve-out that applies to the FBS only. They can hold a meeting of the conferences at any time they choose and vote to change the rule. Whether they keep the present rule or adopt a new rule that eliminates divisions is totally up to the conferences to decide. NCAA HQ has absolutely no say in the matter. [/QUOTE]
