Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 56304, member: 527"] isn't achievable within the next 5 years or so. Once Texas upsets the apple cart in the Big 12 [I](which they will in time, give them enough rope and they will hang themselves they always do)[/I]... the 4 Super Conferences of 16 will happen. And why is 4 conferences of 16 a big deal. Because at 4 super-conferences they can split away from the NCAA for football and do their own thing and keep every penny. And if the NCAA plays hardball and says well then we won't share the NCAA Basketball money with you, the 4 super-conference can do their own thing for March Madness (4X16=64), make more money and turn the tournament into the NIT. It's about leverage. At 4 super conferences they keep all the money for Football. And stay in the NCAA for b'ball and get that huge payday. If the NCAA gets upset, they break away and do their own b'ball thing. [U]They make the NCAA powerless[/U] and can call every shot and keep all the money. [/QUOTE]
