Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 4738661, member: 6535"] I don't think that's what's likely. The financial advantage up front is going to pull the top recruits into the B1G and SEC at an even higher rate than now, leaving the other conferences farther behind. This is likely to happen in basketball as well. This will be especially true if their breakaway includes an even more aggressive way to pay players than NIL. If the consolidation pushes fans away over the following decade, it's probably going to push them away from the second tier as well, so it's not necessarily going to close the gap down it's just going to shrink the overall pie. If that happens it would probably eventually lead to the super conferences breaking up, or expanding to then divide into divisions and restore regionality. [/QUOTE]
