Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 3916295, member: 3360"] In what world is this not a football arms race? 2 of the top 10 biggest football brands are jumping ship to the big boy football league and is likely initiating the collapse of a P5 conference and maybe more by doing so. Believing that teams in major conferences are going to be more worried about the academic prestige of their colleagues over adding additional funds for their athletic departments is not going to be realistic. The time for college sports being some idealistic place where academics were put ahead of money is long past and now officially dead. If Stanford, Northwestern, Vandy and Duke want to play sports with their academic peers then they will bounce to the Ivy but for some reason I don't see that happening. [/QUOTE]
