That to me makes me think he is planning a breakaway with about 150 schools (football or not) that will be pay for play. Who I think makes the cut: SEC B1G Pac-12 ACC Big 12 Big East Atlantic 10 Mountain West WCC American There would be 130 basketball schools (assuming Hawaii joins the MW for all sports) and 98 football schools. They could keep the 64-team March Madness format and even bluff their way into staying in the NCAA and continuing to be called Division 1 while every other team moves down a division. Each conference could have three auto bids in the tourney and then there would be 34 at-large spots left for the six major leagues to add to. The conferences would likely all have at least 20-22 game schedules. Football would have a 12-team playoff. Army and Navy would get a waiver to play Division 1 football with the rest of the sports in Division 2, and the current FCS football programs in basketball leagues (Big East, A-10, WCC) would play Division 2 football if they so choose. Division 1 revenue sports (m/w basketball, football) would be pay for play. [/QUOTE]
