[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 947703, member: 2957"] I read an article recently that described college sports as a modern business set in a 19th construct. What needs to happen (according to the author) is to be honest about the situation. Some schools use sports for prestige. Others use sports as part of the school experience. The author suggested that the NCAA should simply let schools decide what sports are "prestige" (and that varies ... the South? Football. The North? Hockey? Midwest? Girls Softball) and act accordingly. Pay them, drop all the academic requirements (or offer delayed attendance options) and organize as a super conference. All others? Declare them standard sports for development and let the conferences organize to deliver that experience ... more of the traditional student-athlete. He even opined that in some cases, a school might choose to be in multiple conferences for different reasons. I think there is a lot to critique here but ... the one thing is true. The "model" of college sports is totally inconsistent with the new "reality" of college sports. I have heard before that CFB will ultimately break away from the NCAA entirely, and the short answer is ... we have no idea how this will evolve even 2 years from now, let alone when the GOR expire.
