Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 4380347, member: 57"] For those who see greater parity with a 12 team playoff structure I don't see it. Moves by the SEC and BiG are driven primarily by gaining a bigger piece of the pie for themselves. Assuming they plan on staying with the NCAA, and I don't believe they are, they will use their leverage to amass media contracts that will assure they have a financial advantage beyond that of anyone else. That will assure advantages with NIL and attracting and retaining the best talent. Note "retain", because if you don't have the dough you won't be able to keep the best players. That all said, I think the BiG and SEC will be broken off from the NCAA inside of five years. They will view that model as optimizing the economics. They are thinking like the NFL managing franchises. It has nothing to do with traditional college athletics. [/QUOTE]
