Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 5502154, member: 338"] It's a short letter. NCAA athletic distributions currently come from the NCAA itself (hoops tourney etc) and from the CFP system. The stated problem is that by pooling and distributing money this way, the "incentives" are tipped way too far toward FBS football at the cost of the Olympic sports. The proposal is to shift all football funding to the CFP system, and distribute the NCAA revenue to all other sports for all schools. Slight decrease in football revenue for some schools, which the authors claim will be more than offset by the insane growth in that revenue stream, and a more noticeable bump in the non-football revenue, which will better incentivize schools to carry more teams. They fear that under the SCORE act most schools will lower themselves to the bare minimum requirement of 16 non-football sports. As long as football has a tap on that NCAA vein, it'll never get better. [/QUOTE]
