Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 698070, member: 312"] Under the BCS system and continuing under the new playoff system, some percentage of the revenue is shared by all the D1 FBS conferences. It seems to me what the power 5 conferences are doing is trying to stop that by creating a new superdivision and instead reallocate that money to player pay or stipends. The schools in the power 5 aren't going to accept making less money so this is a way to stay whole AFTER the added expense of paying athletes. Some people seem to think that only men's football and basketball players are going to be paid. That is categorically wrong. All athletes will need to be treated the same. The women's field hockey team is going to have to be paid the same as the football players. So this is going to take a lot of coin. [/QUOTE]
