I know you weren't, my frustration with this subject shows up in text as aggressively towards the posters in response. It's not meant that way, it's aggressive in my dislike of the entire decline of the game I've loved for 40+ years.

I’m sure soon but not long after we won’t be in the NCAA anymore and then our kids kids will laugh at those titles like we laugh at Helms.

Not true.

There was 2007

And 2006 too!

But pretty much everything before that was mostly just roibois and participation trophies.

football-related, but i think it belongs here

Big 12, and likely ACC, football programs are beginning to see a new dirty trick being played on the recruiting trail. Recruits are now saying that some coaches from the Big Ten and SEC are telling recruits that Big 12 schools soon won't be playing college football at the highest level. In reality, no one knows if a super division will be created, what schools will be included, and how long before the settling of law suits even clears the path for this new semi-pro division of college football...

KU will be fine either way. The SEC wants KU.

I mean, no objections from me. But at some point the SEC and the Big Ten are going to align and rebrand (and if it's not made explicit when that happens, rest assured that the point will be to kill off the NCAA as regarding D-I football and basketball).

Consolidation could rule. It could also suck. It's so much more about the how than the what.

This should be interesting, the "beginning of the end" of the NCAA as we have discussed ad nauseum on these boards for the major conferences. A whole new movement of realignment and consolidation?

A long read, but worthwhile for opening a whole new round of shit...

"The power conferences would agree to a forward-looking revenue-sharing structure that would give schools the ability to spend a maximum of roughly $20 million per year on direct payments to athletes. The $20 million figure could grow larger every few years if school revenue grows"
