Message: [QUOTE="Guapo, post: 2578820, member: 8179"] There is nothing in any of these articles from anyone that matters. Coaches and AD's do not matter in a decision such as this. I could see football breaking away to for a new "super D-1" within the context of the NCAA, but they are not going to form their own separate regulatory body and I suspect they would not hold their own basketball tournament either. Do you understand the number of lawsuits, not to mention other legal maneuvering that would need to occur in order for this to happen? Do you understand the political response on both a national and, especially, local level that would happen? I believe the NCAA has an anti-trust exemption, not the individual schools. Ok, so now we also have to get into how higher-ed works. There are so many schools that are extreamly interconnected in research and funding etc. that transcend the G5/P5 split. There is a zero percent chance that college presidents (who would be the ones making this decision, not AD's and certainly not coaches) would risk fraying those relationships and the funding that is provided to them on both a local and national level (which dwarfs athletic revenue) in order to pursue a full split.
