The universities and NCAA have nobody to blame but themselves for the mess this has become.  These conference alignments came about because of the dollars associated with media deals that were what - 5 -10 year deals?  There was no strategy as to what the truly long-term impact would be on these universities, the alumni and the fanbases.  The only conference that has been relatively true to a strategy is the BiG and to a lesser extent the SEC.

In my opinion this is all about to come home to roost.  The money that is available will make thieves out of the best of these schools and now with NIL its going to cost a lot to play.  There is nothing benevolent about this process anymore.  When it comes time to divvy up the cash, the Texas's of the world are going to ask what the hell Vanderbilt is doing at the table.  It will bifurcate with the elite programs being essentially professional sport franchises.  Not particularly interesting to me, but maybe I'm not the typical college fan.
