Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4739219, member: 3609"] If anything, the breakaway will be to take football out of the NCAA so that the players don't have to attend class. They'll still be the Alabama Crimson Tide and Ohio State Buckeyes, but the name will be used under license to a team owner. The argument will be put forward that they've gone a long way toward title IX compliance because the 85-scholarships/100+ roster spots for football are now gone. Separation will come at a cost, losing records for teams used to winning. As I have posted before, which Week 10 game will draw the bigger audience - 2-7 Alabama v. 3-6 Texas or 9-0 UVa v. 8-1 Pitt? No matter what the future holds, the teams in the Bowl Subdivision want NCAA HQ to continue to have their present connection to football - none, so they get to keep all the money and none goes to the NCAA.
