Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 987183, member: 2505"] Slive is not going beyond that. He even said they have no interest in breaking off from the other sports. He made that very clear: All he wants is voting autonomy within FBS for the power conferences to be able to legislate sport and institutional-specific rules governing costs of attendance, benefits, etc.. What he's saying is that if they don't get it, they'll form a new subdivision (what he's calling Division IV). That means they'll break off from FBS, creating a third football subdivision, but they'll still have their own autonomy for institutional-wide legislation despite being a Division I participant. To beat the point to death, the Division IV that the SEC is threatening is NOT a new division. It's a football subdivision that will have legislative autonomy within the framework of Division I.
