With two mega conferences in play...who needs the NCAA anymore. The NCAA is a fat, bloated, woke old boys club and needs to die.

It is all about money and getting a football contract to subsidize the “student” athletes. Imagine the cost to fly the Maryland softball team to California or Oregon.

Look what happened to the PAC-10 (PAC-12). Things started getting stupid, real stupid.

I used to love the College game, even over the NFL. Why don’t they just purchase the brands from the Colleges they want to be sponsored by, and have a league of College age semi-pros?

Those four could add Boise State, UC Davis, San Jose State, Fresno State, UNLV, Eastern Washington, Portland State, Colorado State, Northern Arizona, Air Force to name a few. Schools are into football to raise money from ticket sales,advertisers, and media packages, and send their best coaches and players to other higher paying leagues. All of those schools could get some players/coaches into the pros...and they could raise enough to make school goals. Nowadays, college football has very little to do with knowledge from college. All about the “long green”.

You’re not far from what it is already. I feel bad for the players who busted up their bodies and brains to end up not being paid well for their skills.

Wash St, not Ariz St. They could do something like that, but it would still end up being a tremendous decrease in revenue to the old PAC-4.

Before the death penalty, SMU was good. Now with NIL they might come back to life, or maybe their alumni found better things to do on Saturdays in the fall.

ACC is in trouble too.
