Half of Division 1 needs to go back to Division 3 from whence they came in pursuit of CBS's money.

There were two failed attempts to divide up D-1.  The first was "No football, no D-1".  It was stopped because of Dean Smith's arrogance in using the 4-Corners against Marquette.  Marquette won and the proposal was due to be voted at the NCAA convention that summer.  It was voted down because Marquette would have been thrown out of D-1 and wouldn't be allowed to defend its championship.  Thanks Deano!!!!  Actually you folks really should thank him for losing because if that rule had passed there wouldn't have been a Big East as it became.

The second attempt was more successful.  It required anyone who played D-1 basketball to play all their sports in D-1.  It was a D-3 proposal, actually, made by the schools in Ohio that played Dayton.  They felt that Dayton was able to have an advantage in facilities, etc., because they played D-1 bball.
