Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4165064, member: 44"] Jim, I feel like we’re making progress in that you now agree that by leaving the NCAA which is a voluntary organization, the P5 would make more money. We disagree as to the amount. For example your assumption that the P5 would definitional he pay someone the same amount they pay Emmert it is flawed. It’s far more likely in reasonable that they would pay administrator a six figure salary. Likewise, there is likely considerable bloat in NCAA salaries up and down the line given that they don’t have any downward pressure to keep salaries in check. The savings by eliminating Division II and Division III payments is an in dispute in keep in mind that there are costs associated with those institutions in the other line items as well that would also be eliminated. We keep hearing about “blow back” from the P5 leaving the NCAA. I don’t think they’d be much. They have no obligation to support division II in division III institutions, which is in essence what they’re doing right now. Likewise, they have no obligation to support Mid major and low major division one institutions, which, again is what they’re doing right now. Best upon the numbers in my link are probably looking at somewhere in the vicinity of 5 million per year, per institution if the P5 broke off. As the arms race of the better facilities and more expensive coaches continues there will be more pressure to find more money. Leaving the NCAA is an easy way to do that. In any event, you wanted hard figures to support BL‘s position that a P5 departure will eventually happen. I was happy to provide that to you. [/QUOTE]
