I think it’s inevitable that you will see happen in college football, what happened in English soccer, when the richest teams broke away from the FA and started the Premier League.

The richest football programs will break away from the NCAA and start their own association.

“Are you trying to make the case that broadcasting high school games on tsip-TV won’t provide a recruiting advantage in influencing players, coaches, or schools?”

Of course the Longhorn Network will provide a recruiting advantage for the Longhorns.

However, it is not an unfair advantage as schools like Baylor, University of Houston, Texas Southern University and Texas A&M are free to also start their own TV networks that would help recruiting and take in $300 million.
