Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 4235640, member: 57"] I think the NCAA is trying to maintain relevance with the top echelon programs that may very well be contemplating leaving the NCAA. At that level of college competition we are now entering full fledge professional athletics. NIL all but assures that competition for talent will be heavily geared towards compensation. That's a ground altering shift and most college athletic departments (including many currently in the P5) are not going to be competitive in that environment. The NCAA is a bureaucracy, and like all bureaucracies it will try to maintain its relevance. With Texas and Oklahoma heading to the SEC the BiG probably has to do something and I think they go poach the enormous markets addressed by the PAC12. This goes to ~40 programs divided north and south with a huge media deal. Top athletes will make millions. Not sure what role the NCAA plays in that world. [/QUOTE]
