Message: [QUOTE="orange79, post: 1099550, member: 159"] Whereas the threat of a complete break is most likely enough to get this passed today, it would, in reality, be a huge task to pull off. The NCAA provides governance, oversight, enforcement (:rolleyes: Cleveland St - thanks for taking the hit for UNLV), support for non-revenue sports, championship management, etc. That is an IMMENSE infrastructure to have to replicate. My guess is that there is probably not the appetite among the P5 to have to reproduce at least part of the current governance structure. Things, I think, would have to get very bad for the P5 to take this poison pill. My opinion is that this was all along just a stick for the P5 to swing at the NCAA members to get its own way. There was probably little realistic expectation of actually taking their ball and going home, IMO. Gamesmanship. [/QUOTE]
