Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5674541, member: 628"] I’ll go a step further… the NCAA inane decisions to enforce a Division 3 rule on D1 is what set all of this in motion. They could have easily waived the 12 team requirement for holding a conference champ game. Do that and the SEC, Big 8, etc. wouldn’t have had that as their primary motivation to get to 12 in the 1990s. Conference expansion would have happened eventually. There was too much money available for that to not be the ultimate outcome. But it wouldn’t have happened when it did, and with the ensuing chaos, if the NCAA didn’t utterly botch that ruling.
