[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 954533, member: 1640"] Sorry for the slight diversion. Thank you to everyone for playing 😊. So the NCAA is no longer a factor in any way, which we knew, and the noble myth of the student athlete is dead for the foreseeable future. Since it’s all about market forces now, without any oversight, there are no sacred cows left to preserve. The SEC probably won’t expand any further because the money is good if they stand pat. Tradition or institutions or regional boundaries have nothing to do with it. Getting Texas, for instance, made perfect dollar sense and, if conferences started blowing up, kept them out of the hands of another conference. Notre Dame, maybe now more than ever, doesn’t need a conference. The B1G has made it clear they will do whatever they need to do if larger market forces push them but they prefer stabilized conferences. The ACC is the wild card. I could see this going any number of ways, from collapsing to constricting to expanding. But I do not see any argument that is persuasive that says the ACC is stable just like it is. Not with the market forces that are at work. Not with college presidents going all in on protecting their brands. Not with the NCAA being a non-player. Not without any foreseeable government action on the part of states or Feds to regulate in a meaningful way. Not with fans having so little influence at this point. [/QUOTE]
