Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 1034909, member: 724"] With the power conferences being able to provide perks that smaller conferences cannot AND with the NBA forcing kids to stay in college until they are twenty, you are going to see a HUGE divide grow between power conferences and everybody else. In time, power conferences teams will be the only "division 1" teams and only play each other in the regular season, which is the way it should be. I heard Jake Crouthamel talk about this decades ago (sometime in the 90's). He said Syracuse had to join the ACC back then because the power conferences were going to consolidate all the power and split away from everybody else, and if you were not included you were not going to have a relevant sports program. Its a slow process but its happening, and college sports as a whole will be better off when it does. [/QUOTE]
