Today, in just sayin’, part two

Maybe the #WeAreUnited players and the P5 have more in common than I thought.

    I don’t agree with all of the demands but getting rid of the NCAA would be great.

    Agree on the NCAA, but let them go anyway….it’s been a while since they were relevant.

    I do think Dan intentionally used the word organize to describe Ramogi’s efforts.

    The conferences may not need the NCAA for football, but they absolutely need it for basketball. March Madness is an absolutely essential source of revenue for P5 conferences and schools, and if they break away and put together their own P5-only tournament then it wouldn’t be worth nearly as much money – the reason people watch is for Cinderella in the first two weekends. Now, you are probably thinking to yourself that the P5 can take their ball and play their own football and stay in the NCAA for everything else, Notre Dame-style. But would the NCAA let them?

      And, of course, the NCAA probably WOULD still let them. But if the Pac 12, et al allow these reforms for football then you’d better believe they’re going to have to do it for basketball. And then you’re right back in conflict with NCAA rules. If the NCAA doesn’t go along with the reform, then it’s a non-starter.
