I can't figure out how the B1G , SEC and the tag-alongs can move forward with multiple sports in a pro league and still keep them under the university umbrella. There has to be a split up of sports because the football players probably aren't going to want to share with the basketball players. There will also be issues with title 9 unless the revenue sports will are spun off from the education system to be completely separate. So then you have purely pro leagues that are a step below the current pro leagues (NFL and NBA). How long does that keep sports fans' attention? I know I'm not going to watch on TV. I might go to a local game in person, like I would a Syracuse Mets game, but how many national tv viewers do minor leagues get in baseball, hockey and basketball? I don't see this benefitting too many people in the long run. [/QUOTE]
