Message: [QUOTE="btstimpy, post: 666045, member: 2673"] I'm hearing not only restricted to conference champions, but to conference champions selected through a conference championship game. Driven by Television. It is still being debated, but that would get Notre Dame's attention as well as the Big XII. One of Notre Dame's push backs is sponsorship of sports. They are pushing to increase the minimum number of varsity sports required to be sponsored in Division 4. Swarbrick uses Stanford, who sponsors 36 as the example. That's too high. But I could see 22 fully funded. Most of the SEC only sponsors 16. This allows the SEC to pay football coaches $7 million. And Kentucky pays their basketball coach $7 million per year. That can fund a lot of soccer players. [/QUOTE]
