You're approaching this wrong. It's not because the NCAA is "scared" of the P5, blue blood schools. It's because those schools [I]control [/I]the NCAA.

If the P5 were to break off, it would need to renegotiate hundreds of contracts with TV, venues, vendors and bowls. It would have to negotiate many new contracts with all the above.

Some of those people likely will not want to renegotiate so they'll have to fend off a multitude of lawsuits. They will also promptly be hit with lawsuits from each G5 conference and the NCAA, as well as some others arguing various anti-trust clauses, image and name lisecensing, IP things like copyrights, trademarks etc. The list goes on.

Do you understand the millions upon millions upon millions of legal fees this would add up to?

They'll also face strong political pressure from both local and national politicians.

They'll have to form a new company, which will require finding, hiring and paying hundreds, if not thousands, of employees.

So you're talking about them doing something that will be prohibitively expensive, a logistical nightmare and deeply unpopular.

All for what, exactly?

They're already making money hands over fist and have autonomy.
