Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4016121, member: 153"] We've said for a long time this is what is going to happen. When Emmert openly questions the NCAA's usefulness, then you know there is a lot of forward thinking going on. The move to depart from the NCAA is simultaneously going to be a move toward pro football and pro basketball. Northwestern, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State etc. should be as worried as Oklahoma State right now. The only way this DOESN'T happen is if the SEC is somehow dumb enough to reject Texas. If that happens and Texas lands in the B1G then you can have a balance of power that keeps the 4 conferences on somewhat of a competitive keel. But if Texas and Oklahoma go to the SEC, then Clemson, Florida St., Michigan and Ohio State will start quaking in their boots. Go play second tier football at Michigan against the Indianas of the world or go play at Georgia against the best of the best. Pretty easy to see what's going to happen here. [/QUOTE]
