[QUOTE="CEB, post: 949301, member: 4905"] I think you’re both kinda right... big time programs in the big revenue sports have been trending away from “student” part of student athlete for a while. First it was a couple of kids... then it was a handful of kids... now it’s several kids and increasing. The schooling aspect is an afterthought for a lot of the big revenue sports athletes. That’s not true across the board, however and it’s not even true across entire sports. I don’t see how you can level the field for 60, let alone elevate 100+ football programs with the top 20-30. As crazy as it sounded a few years ago, I feel like the answer will almost certainly become separating / restructuring D1 into distinct divisions with separate rules and governing bodies. While I kind of believe something like this will happen, I don’t think the conference realignment we’re seeing is going to be part of the demarcation. [/QUOTE]
