The power conferences can bluster about breaking off from the NCAA all they want. One of the major reasons it won't happen is money, right now with the NCAA as the ruling body for all colleges, they all get away with the pretense of amateurism. Lawyers will stop any movement to leave the NCAA, by telling the Big Conferences they won't be able to continue the sham, and would end up paying the athletes. The conferences need the NCAA in order to continue the allusion of amateurism.
And if they do split off and go pay for play there are still Title IX implications not to mention worker's comp, etc.
