They need to do something about football and maybe basketball.
All the other sports are fine under the NCAA.
The problem with leaving the NCAA is that semi pro ball is not as good as pro ball and the charm of kids wearing a college jersey is gone. The tv ratings would go in the dump and the money would be gone.
Good points.
Also....those leaving will not be able to recruit. Opposing coaches will just tell recruits “we are in the NCAA....they cannot win championships....you win nothing going there”. NAIA schools....who gave full ride scholarships...could not compete with small division NCAA schools that offered limited or no scholarships
They’ll still wear college jerseys. There will just be a new governing body for collegiate sports. There’s no law anywhere that says the NCAA has to be in charge of collegiate sports, in fact there’s lots of collegiate sport they don’t govern at all (generally called “club sport” because they run in a way similar to campus clubs).
