Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 1918380, member: 3609"] I agree with orangefog's post and would add this comment about your last line. Going to that one superconference would probably mean the adoption of Jay Bilas' "nobody has to go to class anymore" minor league system. If that's the case, Vandy, Wake, SU, and the private schools won't be alone because a number of state schools will either choose to opt out of that superconference or will be told by their state's government that they have no other choice but to opt out of that superconference. More of D-1 would adopt the Ivies' system of using the D-3 financial aid rules in D-1. Sports fans tend to look at reining in football and basketball by the academicians as cutting off a valuable source of money and advertising. Numerous studies have shown the money for the academic side of the house is there regardless of sports and how much positive advertising is Baylor getting right now? [/QUOTE]
